The revised preliminary park management plan includes proposed direction that would require regulation changes, including:
- allow continued motorized guiding by members of the Lac La Croix Guides Association on ten lakes (which is reduced from the twenty lakes permitted previously);
- identify four lakes where aircraft landing is permitted by members of the Lac La Croix Guides Association;
- identify two lakes where commercial outfitters may land aircraft;
- allow licensed trappers to land aircraft in certain circumstances; and
- allow landing of aircraft on two lakes for access to private property.
If the park management plan is approved, subsequent regulation changes will be made to Ontario Regulation 346/07 under the Provincial Parks and Conservation Reserves Act (Mechanized Travel in Wilderness Parks). No additional opportunity for public comment on these regulation changes will be provided via the Environmental Registry.
