The guidelines below are derived from the Seven Principles promoted and copyrighted by the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics (lnt.org):

1. Plan ahead and prepare.

2. Travel and camp on durable surfaces to minimize disturbance of natural areas.

3. Dispose of waste properly.

4. Leave what you find (unless it’s trash!).

5. Minimize campfire impacts.

6. Respect wildlife.

7. Be considerate of others.

Respect private property and publicly owned property along the water. For your own safety, the well-being of livestock, and as a courtesy to landowners, always yield to cattle and other critters in the water. When you encounter wire strung along a river, gently thread your way under or through it; do not tamper with it. (Keep in mind that wire almost always comes in pairs, and it’s strung not to injure you but to keep farm animals from escaping.)

Please park only in designated areas and lots. If there is no parking explicitly denoted on the trip map, please pull off the road as safely as possible and park in compliance with local ordinances.

Do not ever bring glass on the water—period. Make sure that your beverages are either in aluminum cans or plastic bottles. There’s nothing better than a tasty drink on a hot day while paddling, but be responsible and don’t litter.

Finally, dispose of waste properly. That includes human waste. If you are camping in a site without facilities, dig a hole at least 1 foot deep and as far away from the water as possible, deposit waste, and cover.
