Fire Ban: Stirling-Rawdon-Tweed Fire Service has put a full burn ban in place until further notice due to very dry conditions.
No outdoor flames are allowed, including campfires, fire pits, fireworks, or burn barrels. Propane and natural gas BBQs are still fine to use for cooking.
By law, all guests must wear properly fitted life jackets when using the watercraft. We provide a selection of adult and child life jackets; however, sizes and fit cannot be guaranteed. Guests are responsible for ensuring they have life jackets that fit them properly. If the provided jackets do not fit, guests must bring their own.
