Check
with park staff on water conditions before canoeing.
Take a
vested interest in your safety; wear a life vest when canoeing.
In the
event of a canoe spill, stay on the upstream side of your boat to avoid
being pinned against a rock.
Canoe
and hike with a partner or group.
There
are no protected swimming areas in the park. Swim at your own risk.
Poison
ivy, chiggers, ticks, yellow jackets and venomous copperhead snakes
may be found along park trails. Be alert!
