- Please leave the building in the same or better condition.

- There are two smoke detectors. Groups must bring 9-volt batteries. Please test the detectors and report any problems.

- For fire safety reasons, do not bar the front door while the cabin is occupied.

- Firewood is the responsibility of the cabin user. There may be a supply on hand. Please replace what you use.

- Due to vandalism, vehicles should be parked overnight at the Department of Transportation compound. They maintain 24/7 security.

- A key to the gate is available at Dept. of Transportation gatehouse, providing you can present a valid Scouts Canada membership card.

- Groups must submit a permit to Halifax Region. These are available on the "Miller's Lake Info" page above.

- The water in Miller's Lake should be considered suspect. Lake water MUST be treated before use, or a supply should be carried in.
