Safety Notes
Mountain Bikes and ATVs: Motorized vehicle traffic is prohibited in the park. However, participants may still encounter ATVs. Expect to encounter mountain bikers and other casual park users on trails.
Off-leash dogs: Sandy Lake Park does allow off-leash dogs. Efforts have been made to inform and educate dog owners about the event in advance, however we are not able to control the presence of off-leash dogs in the park. Although off-leash dogs are required to be under control of owners, please use caution when emerging onto trails and open areas, and be aware that you could encounter an unleashed dog.
Cell Phones: The area has cellular phone coverage.
First Aid: St. Johns Ambulance volunteers will be on-site.
Ticks: Ticks are present in Atlantic Canada, particularly in wooded areas, tall grass and leaf litter. Ticks are known to carry Lyme Disease and other infections. Be sure to check yourself and others for ticks. More information can be found at https://novascotia.ca/ticksafety
