As of May 8, 2023, there are no restrictions on any food items you wish to bring to Canada. That means you can bring your own eggs, chicken, beef, pork, vegetables and any other foods. Though you can pick-up watever you may need while in Canada. There is a nice Safeway grocery store you will be passing in Dryden, Ontario just 45 minutes before PAC basecamp. **Note that BAIT restrictions remain unchanged (see below)**

Please check back here for the latest updates at least a week before your booking and feel free to communicate with us if you have any concerns or questions before heading to the Canadian border.

Don’t forget to get your fishing licenses online ahead of time.

Thank you,

Pickerel Arm Camp
