What does “Low-Impact” camping mean?
The Explorers League is committed to lowest impact travel and camping. Non-motorized rafting -likewise canoeing and kayaking – has been crowned the least obtrusive means of exploring wilderness areas. Rafts ride upon natures natural routes, at the pace of the land, leaving no debris and no scars. We cut no wood that is not already drift. We place a firepan under our coals and remove all ashes from our camps. All garbage that is not burnable is taken off the river for recycling. Even human waste comes off the river with us for sanitary disposal in regulated sites.
