Spending time outside is a great way to connect with nature and each other! Help care for the land that sustains us in so many ways by being a kind and respectful visitor.
Be kind to nature and each other Keep these special places looking great! Take only photos and leave only footprints, and follow all site rules (no swimming, camping, smoking, open fires, or alcohol consumption). Remember that other people may prefer different outdoor experiences, and there’s no one right way to enjoy nature.
Protect your pooch Dogs are welcome at all CLC sites. Please keep dogs on-leash and pick up after them. Many sites are home to sensitive animals (especially birds) disturbed by romping pups, or poky wildlife like porcupines that may ruin your dog’s day! Keeping your dog on a leash is also a courtesy to other visitors and their dogs.
Clean up There are no restrooms or trash cans located at CLC sites, please take your trash home with you.
