The City of Brockville Islands Mooring

## Island Rules Overview For detailed Island Rules, please click here to view the Park Islands and Camping Rules. **Reservation, Cancellation and Refund Policy** If you cancel your reservation at least 2 or more days prior to your arrival date, you will receive a full refund ***minus the set reservation fee***. If you cancel with less than 2 days notice prior to your arrival date, no refund will be awarded. ***Refunds will not be granted due to inclement weather, wildlife, air quality, fire bans, or other inconveniences.*** **Booking Constraints** Transient Mooring Docks can be reserved up to seven (7) days in advance. The maximum consecutive stay permitted is three (3) consecutive nights on one island with no return for at least three (3) consecutive days. These booking constraints ensure everybody has an opportunity to moor on the Brockville islands. **Campfires** Campfires are permitted on City of Brockville Islands in designated areas only (fire boxes/pits/receptacles). There are designated areas on all bookable City of Brockville islands with the exception of Skelton Island; therefore, fires are not permitted on Skelton Island. Firewood can be purchased at the canteen located in St. Lawrence Park and can be accessed by boat. Mooring is permitted on the courtesy dock located to the east of the dive dock. Twigs, broken branches and rotting logs play an important role in the healthy development of the island forest, providing cover and food for insects, small animals and birds. Please leave them where they fall. Campfires are prohibited when a fire ban is in place. **Pack It In/Pack It Out** Leave no trace - take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints. Pack your waste back with you when you vacate the island. The City of Brockville has always encouraged the practice of Pack it In/Pack It Out. We have reduced the number of receptacles on the islands. **Conservation** The islands are especially sensitive to damage because they are rocky, small in area and have more severe climate than the mainland. You can contribute to the protection of the islands by complying with the regulations. They have been designed to encourage you to use and enjoy the islands in an environmentally sensitive manner. Walking trails have been provided to allow you to explore the islands. In many areas of the dry island environments, soil erosion and plant destruction have resulted from people walking around, so please stay on the trails. **Glass Prohibited** Because the islands are rocky, broken glass has been a problem in the past. For the safety of your family and others, please use plastic or canned containers only. **Pets** Pets are welcome on City of Brockville islands, but they must be on a leash and under control at all times. Owners are responsible for cleaning up after their pets. (And yes, pack it out includes your poop bags) **Outhouses** Outhouses are located on a number of City of Brockville Islands. Please refer to the island map for locations. **Ice** Ice can be purchased from the canteen located at St. Lawrence Park and the Brockville Municipal Harbour office, both can be accessed by boat. The courtesy dock at St. Lawrence Park and the day docks at the Brockville Municipal Harbour are meant for short term stays such as stopping by for an ice cream cone or to purchase ice.
