The Community Fire Pit
was finished late last fall, and
was christened during our
Winter Wonderland activities.
It was a real hit and is available
for camping groups to use this
summer. Bring your own
marshmallows and guitar!
There are several Weddings
booked at the picnic area this
summer, beside the Gatehouse.
When you see the wrought iron
stands and sign, you’ll know
the area has been reserved. No
vehicles should be parked in
this greenspace or along the
road during reservations.
2015 Special Events:
The Annual Rideau Lakes Cycle
Tour will stop at Last Duel Park on
Saturday and Sunday June 6th
and 7th, 2015. This bicycling event,
which is sponsored by the Ottawa Bicycle Club, has been visiting Last Duel for
many years, where riders take a halfway break to purchase food/drinks from
our local service clubs, use the port-apotties, have a rest break, or in some
cases, to start the half-tour event. The
whole tour runs from Ottawa to Perth to
Kingston and return.
The Perth Kilt Run is returning to
Last Duel Park! On Saturday, June
20th, the world’s largest recorded foot
race of kilted runners will take place in
Downtown Perth. In an effort to log the
8km on a scenic route, parts of Last
Duel Park have been incorporated
into the run. The race begins at
6:30pm, and over 2000 runners have
registered for the race. Police and
volunteers will be on-site to assist with
logistics during the run, and please note
that vehicular traffic will be restricted
until the last runner passes through the
Last Duel leg of the route. Campers are
asked to plan ahead if they need to leave
or drive through town during the race.
On July 17th, 18th and 19th, the
Stewart Park Festival will make for
one of the busiest weekends all summer.
The special Festival Camping Package
will continue - check in at the Info
Booth at the festival and mention the 2for-1 special for campers, and you can
receive 2 After Hours passes for the
price of one. A great deal for a weekend
of great music!

Spring Bear Warning:
Bearwise garbage containers are located
throughout the Park. Campers are
reminded to take precautions to prevent
unwanted bear visitors, particularly in
spring. Empty your
garbage containers
often, in the dumpster
provided; use bearproof containers on
your site, if possible;
keep BBQ grills clean;
keep food in your
trailer or locked in
your car; keep pet food inside; keep recycling
in the room provided. For emergencies
involving bears, please call 911. For more
information on spring bear activity, call the
Ministry of Natural Resources at 1-866-5142327.
The Emerald Ash Borer is an ongoing
problem, devastating ash trees throughout
North America. A Ministerial Order has been
enacted by The Canadian Food Inspection
Agency under the Plant Protection Act to
restrict movement of all ash materials from
any tree species in the regulated areas.
Lanark County is not a regulated area, but
campers are prohibited from bringing in/
taking out firewood from the areas of
Ottawa, the United Counties of Leeds &
Grenville, Prescott/Russell and the City of
Gatineau. Materials include, among other
things, firewood of all tree species.
The Town of Perth does not sell firewood at
Last Duel Park, however, if campers are
interested in having firewood made
available for purchase, please advise the Park
Attendant. This is something the Town
would be willing to consider in the future.
For information on the Emerald Ash Borer
please see www.inspection.gc.ca/pests.
The Community Garden:
The Table Community Food Centre
(Food Bank) Community Garden is
now going into its 3rd season at Last
Duel Park. It is continually expanding to
meet the needs of our local Community
Food Centre.
Feel free to speak with any of the garden
volunteers about participating, or for
information on their community events.
As in past years, Last Duel Park staff and
Food Bank volunteers will work
together to ensure that camping is not
disrupted by gardening activities. The
garden area will be kept tidy and
tasteful, and visitors will be required to
follow rules on parking, hours of
operation and washroom usage.
Things for Campers To-Do:
Perth Outfitters is located on Craig
Street, across the street from Last Duel
Park. Here you can rent canoes, kayaks,
motor boats, and by June you’ll be able
to play a round of mini-putt! Stop by
and say hello to Ian and Jeannie and
pick up a canoe for a day-trip up the Tay
River.
If boating isn’t your thing, please visit
the knowledgeable staff at the Tourism
office. The Visitor Information Centre is
located at 11 Gore Street East in the
Matheson House Museum. You’ll find
information on local restaurants, shops
and businesses, as well as maps, festival
and event info, public washrooms and a
friendly face to help plan your visit.
Stop by in person or give us a call at
