Compliance - Rules and Regulations
We're committed to ensuring a safe and enjoyable place for visitors. Please help us be good stewards of the land and water by understanding your role in our outdoors program.
We don't like issuing fines but sometimes we must. Set fines range from $55 to $400 per offence, per person per day as approved Under Part 1 of the Provincial Offences Act to regulate and provide for the orderly use and operation of Municipal Campgrounds and other Recreational Lands. The following summarizes the set fines approved for offences under by-laws related to the management of trails in the Townships of Algonquin Highlands, Minden Hills and Lake of Bays.
