Backcountry Paddling Site Upgrades

Pukaskwa National Park proposes to upgrade 5 existing backcountry paddling campsites along the Lake Superior coastline. At each of the 5 sites, upgrades will include a new bear-proof food locker, a new pit-privy, and access trails from the existing campsite to the new infrastructure. Pit privy locations will vary from 40-130 m from Lake Superior's shoreline. Pit privies will be constructed on site using hand tools, and vegetation will be cleared to ground level using hand tools; no use of large machinery or concrete is expected. This project will be assessed with a Basic Impact Assessment.
