Ways to stay away from busy trails? Open up and take a look around!

Overcrowding can have a severe influence on the nature of the beautiful parks and lands that we all share and make recreational experiences less enjoyable, even in the absence of health risks associated to COVID-19. Furthermore, overcrowding puts our communities' and your own health at danger, given how crucial social separation is to overall wellness. Fortunately, there are several actions you may do to prevent leisure areas from being overly crowded.

Look for locations that are less well-known and less frequently visited.

Tips:

  • Go between Monday and Thursday, when things are usually less crowded. If it's safe for your activity, think about going earlier or later in the day.

  • If your first choice of venue or activity is too busy or filled, have a backup plan.

  • If you're going to be camping at a spot where reservations aren't required, make sure to arrive early enough in the day to make adjustments if your preferred spot is already gone. This is especially crucial for expeditions including kayaking and trekking.

  • To better prepare for minimizing your impacts and keeping safe, learn about the ideals and skills of Leave No Trace.
