Mosquito Rips

1 ReviewAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Boat-in access only puts Mosquito Rips out of reach for most campers, but paddlers running the Moose Bow Loop in Holeb State Park will find a small, free site beside one of the river's rapids. The site is compact and shows signs of use. It has a picnic table, fire pit, and outhouse. A fire permit is required and can be obtained at the Jackman Fire Department. Those paddling with dogs may want to line their boats through the rapid rather than run it, depending on water levels. Camel Rips is another option along the loop for paddlers who find this site occupied.

Another Moose Bow Loop Camping Option

Another small site at one of the rapids on the Moose River. Depending on the water level and your skill, you can paddle the rapid or line your boat. We chose to line given we were traveling with our dogs. Depending on your plans, this site may be a good stopping point for the day. The site is small and impacted but has a nice picnic table, fire pit and outhouse. It isn’t the best site along the Moose Bow Loop but it fits the bill if you just need a place to sleep for the night and isn’t already occupied.

Note: you need a fire permit in order to have a fire. You can obtain a permit at the Fire Department in the town of Jackman.
