Entry/Travel Permits

  The Wild Life Park Regulations (Consolidated Newfoundland Regulation 977/96) authorizes the Minister or his/her designate to issue a conditional permit which identifies limited and prohibited activities within the Park.

  This permit is required only if a person wishes to access the unfenced Limited Use Area of the Park. This is the remote back country area of the Park that is set aside as a wilderness reserve. This area is used by hikers and wilderness campers. With the exception of salmon and trout angling, all other consumptive outdoor activities are prohibited in this area.

A permit is not required for persons accessing the fenced Intensive Use Area for the purpose of viewing the nature trails and zoological specimen displays there. These persons will have entered via the appropriate gate during public visitation hours and have been met by Visitor Services or other staff.

  The entry/travel permit outlines prohibited activities within the Limited Use Area of the Park, and highlights several other pertinent regulations contained in the Wild Life Park Regulations, 1996.

  Permittees are asked to note that tents or other structures must not be erected within 15 metres of waterways.

  Permits must be filled out thoroughly and legibly. All members of a party entering the Park must be identified on the permit.

  Permits are available free of charge at Salmonier Nature Park, Inland Fish and Wildlife headquarters (Building 810, Pleasantville) and at Paddy's Pond Forestry/Wildlife Office.

  Permits will be issued for a maximum period of ten days.

  In the case of registered cabin-owners within the Park, an annual permit will be issued to the primary owner. All regular users of any cabin within the Park must be identified on the appropriate permit. The permit-holder is responsible for the conduct of regular users of his/her cabin. Occasional visitors to any cabin within the Park must first acquire a permit before entering the Park.
