    BOARDING & LODGING:
    You are responsible for arranging your own food and accomodation. Most often participants find it convenient and cost-effective to stay at Snug Harbour Resort, a short distance from the park. Snug Harbour has put aside some Cabins at the reduced rate of $120 per day. When you book let them know that you are a member of the Bruce Trail and hiking the Frontenac Challenge. The accommodation is shared (about 4 – 6 persons). You are responsible for arranging your accommodation. Often there are opportunities for joining others in renting a cabin and jointly preparing meals.

    CARPOOL:
    You should arrange for carpool as the park charges for day use parking. Cars must be pre-registered for parking to save time. If you use carpool, you should expect to pay the drivers.

    These hikes are for serious hikers only. You will be walking 140 KM in 7 days on rough terrain.
