Use of Rock Dunder

WHAT TO EXPECT ON THE ROCK DUNDER WALKING TRAILS

Please read the following carefully:

• Rock Dunder is a unique and beautiful natural feature of the Frontenac Arch Biosphere. It is preserved in its natural state for your enjoyment by the Rideau Waterway Land Trust, a local, non-profit organization.
• As such, the trails at Rock Dunder are wilderness trails, left in a largely untouched state. You will encounter varied terrain underfoot, including sections with protruding roots and rocks. Some sections are winding and include significant upward or downward slopes; others allow unrestricted access to unprotected cliff overlooks.
• Specific weather conditions may increase the difficulty of hiking the trails and terrain.
• These trails are made available for use strictly at your own risk. They are not recommended for young children or people with health or balance issues. Hiking boots and poles are recommended.
• If you or any of your party have doubts about your ability to safely use these trails, you/they should not attempt the trails.

Please be aware, by checking "I agree" to these policies, you and your party are acknowledging that you have been informed of the conditions and challenges of the terrain at Rock Dunder and each of you is willingly assuming the risk for using them.

Drone Policy

This policy regulates the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) or drones on the properties of the

Rideau Waterway Land Trust (RWLT).

Drone flying is a popular hobby for many people and may also be used for commercial purposes.

However, drones can pose risks to visitors, disturb wildlife, and lead to negative experiences for other

visitors to RWLT’s protected lands. For these reasons, RWLT seeks to limit the use of drones.

Recreational drone use - Prohibited

The recreational operation of a UAV or drone from any RWLT property is prohibited.

Commercial drone use - Please Contact

Please contact RWLT at info@rwlt.org if you would like to use a drone from any RWLT properties for

a non-recreational purpose.

Geocaching Policy

To protect sensitive habitats for species at risk and endangered species that could be damaged by people searching off-trail, geocaching is not permitted on RWLT properties.
