What to bring

Whether you’re planning to stay in one of the park’s full-service camps or shelters, in the company of a guide or on your own, be sure to pack a few basic items, including:

  • Rain gear, a wind breaker and a fleece jacket
  • Spare warm and quick-dry clothing
  • A warm sleeping bag
  • Toiletries (odourless and biodegradable)
  • Tuque and mittens

To help you with your preparations, a complete list of required equipment is contained in the expedition planning guide for the park.

For trekking, good hiking boots, gaiters and trekking poles, as well as insect repellent and mosquito netting are essential.

If not accompanied by a guide, visitors are required to possess maps and orienteering tools (GPS and compass), as well as appropriate safety equipment (a first-aid and survival kit, as well as animal deterrents). A SPOT messaging device or satellite telephone are also strongly recommended.

Other Considerations

Anyone wishing to practise sport fishing in the park must possess a provincial permit and authorization to fish in the park. It is recommended that water be treated or boiled before consumption.
