Most checkpoints can be visited by canoe or kayak, but a number will be located in the surrounding parkland.

Practice your O-skills even when you’re not out in the woods! The Maze-O will challenge your brain, and sense of direction while finding the shortest, or the fastest routes through the mazes.
