- take appropriate clothing, food, water, navigational aids, and a first aid kit when hiking or paddling
- protection from biting insects is recommended during spring and summer
- the park is the natural habitat for moose, bears, wolves, and bobcats, to name a few, so when hiking, pay attention and watch for wildlife
