Firewood is scarce at Oak Hill. If you're camping there, you need to bring some with you, buy some from us, or pick it up as you come down the river. As anyone camping at Oak Hill now has to have a completed CCA form, you will be charged for cutting down any trees! Cut down trees don't burn and since the wildfires from a few years ago and the actions of a few idiots that have cut down trees, there is no shade in some camping areas.

Newsflash! Bottles and cans don't burn! Please quit throwing them in the firepits. The messes don't disappear once you leave, it stays there for others to see and have to deal with in their fire.

Due to the rising costs in insurance and gasoline and the lack of bus drivers, we are forced to restrict the buses and departure times we're doing. We will keep to our slow season departure schedule whenever possible to save on fuel and therefore keeping prices down. So, always call first to see which departures are available. For example, instead of running four trips, we would rather fill the bus and only go three times. If you have a group, 10 or more canoes, we will certainly try to add another bus to accommodate your group. We will also not be opening the Gardner Canoe Outpost for check-in until we have full busloads so again, check first. You will check-in in Arcadia, drive to Gardner and park, and catch the bus to Zolfo Springs. You still will park in Gardner, no end of trip bus rides. Checking in Arcadia, keeps the amount of staff and staff driving down.  We appreciate your patience and understanding.
