Big changes for Long Sault Parkway in 2012:
New this year will be FREE ACCESS to drive along the 11 km Long Sault Parkway between the villages of Long Sault and Ingleside, and home to the three campgrounds (McLaren, Woodlands, and Mille Roches) and the two beach day-use areas at Woodlands and Mille Roches.
In the past, a day-use fee was charged at the two parkway entrances at Long Sault and Ingleside even for drive-through customers during the operating season, but now the day-use fee will only be charged to visitors stopping to use the picnic and beach facilities at Woodlands, Mille Roches, or Lock 21.
Other major changes involve improvements to the check-in procedures at the entrances of the campgrounds themselves. To expedite check-in times and reduce line ups, camper registration will now take place right at the park entrances to McLaren, Woodlands, or Mille Roches campgrounds in new storefront facilities that offer shopping for all camping essentials.
Free Passes:
At check-in, campers will be given two free passes for admission to either Upper Canada Village or Fort Henry during the regular season.
