Canoe Outpost Peace River

[Tony L]

We paddled the peace river this thanksgiving and stopped at Brownvilled Park near Arcadia and I took the following photo.  From 8am till noon we saw 10 buses from Canoe Outpost all loaded with 10 canoes put in at Brownville park.  The park gets NO compensation from Canoe Outpost for using their ramp, bathrooms etc.  That's over 200 people in just the 4 hours we were there.  Am I being ridiculous or should they do SOMETHING for the park to help out?

I don't think you're being ridiculous, I read somewhere (please correct me if I'm wrong) that one of the reasons the Park Service in the ENP went to in person reservations and no more than 24 hours in advance was due to outfitters making reservations well in advance and taking most of the good spots throughout the season. So yes, regulation and fees are needed for everyone, including us.

agreed, that is lame.
