Trails are in a Nature Reserve zone, therefore we must prohibit cycling to help protect sensitive ecosystems.
Do not feed or approach wildlife. This Park is their home. Wild animals may display aggressive behaviour when feeling threatened. Feeding wild animals alters their diets and threatens the natural instincts and abilities they depend on for survival throughout the year.
Do not remove or damage vegetation or other features in the Park. It is illegal to remove anything from a public park. Plants provide food and shelter for wild animals who rely on Rouge Park for habitat. Rocks, trees, and other features also serve a purpose in the natural environment. Please respect the sensitivity of these natural ecosystems.
All dogs must be leashed at all times. Please "stoop and scoop". Municipal by-laws in effect.
Stay on marked trails and observe trail closure signs. Trails are sometimes closed because they are not safe for users. Other times, they are closed to allow a damaged area to regenerate naturally.
Do not make side trails or take shortcuts. Help prevent the erosion and damage to sensitive areas caused by unofficial trails and trail widening.
Carry your litter back out, along with any litter you find.
Help us by reporting fires, vandalism or illegal dumping. To report vandalism or illegal dumping, call the municipality. Fires are prohibited under municipal by-laws.
Firearms are prohibited. There is no hunting allowed in Rouge Park. Municipal by-laws in effect.
An Ontario fishing licence is required. Seasonal restrictions apply.
Please park only in designated areas.
Camping is prohibited outside of the Glen Rouge Campground. For your safety, and to help us protect the natural environment, camping is not allowed in other areas of the Park.
