TIPS TO MAKE YOUR VISIT MORE PLEASANT

Tips

WHAT TO BRING

The weather can change quickly, and the location is fairly isolated. We recommend visitors bring:

  • a jacket

  • sunscreen

  • insect repellent

  • comfortable shoes 

 

Umbrellas can be borrowed from the General Store, free of charge.

​

PHONE SERVICE

Cellular phone service is available, but the signal can be weak. The strongest signal can be found at the General Store. Please ask staff for guidance if you require a consistent signal.

RESPECT ANIMALS & WILDLIFE

Huble Homestead Historic Site is situated in the beautiful BC wilderness. This means that we share the area with many animals, including bears. 

​

During your visit please keep an eye on your children and other members of your group at all times. If you see a bear while at the historic site, please notify an employee and move indoors quietly.

Following safety guidelines, such as keeping your distance and not screaming or running if a bear is near, will help keep you, other visitors, and the bears safe.

 

If you see bears on Mitchell Road on your way to Huble Homestead, do not exit the vehicle.

The site also runs an animal program every summer, which includes chickens and rabbits. Please do not feed or touch any of these animals unless you have been given permission to by staff. 

THINGS TO REMEMBER

  • Huble Homestead is an invaluable heritage site, and smoking is permitted ONLY in the designated area, located outside of the gates in the lower parking lot.

  • As a public place and regional park, alcohol is strictly prohibited.

  • Huble Homestead does not have electricity or running water.
