Are you trying to secure the tarp over your tent, or interested in how to keep your boat or canoe tied up so that it won't float away? If so, then come on down and our ranger will teach you the correct knot to use.

Knots have been around for thousands of years. It is likely that knots date back to earliest man since they are so fundamentally important to survival, be it to lash a spear point to a pole, make clothing, or construct a fishing net. Knots have three practical purposes - to attach a rope to another rope, to attach a rope to an object, or to allow a rope to perform a function (such as a snare or lariat). Join our ranger and expand your outdoor skills with knot-tying.
