CAMPFIRES: Check on current fire restrictions before you leave. Potential fire danger may prohibit the use of campfires. If fires are allowed, they must be contained within the steel fire grates at designated campsites or as specifically approved on your visitor’s permit. Collect firewood away from campsites by paddling down the shore and walking into the woods where it is more abundant. Gathering wood that is easily broken by hand or cut with a small folding saw eliminates the need for an axe. Bringing wood with you from out of state is prohibited. Use a camp stove for cooking. Modern stoves are easy to use, are more efficient, and can feed a hungry group even in inclement weather.
