The only vehicle you will ever see at camp

One of the most wonderful things about coming to Bow Narrows Camp is you leave the world of the automobile behind. There's no roaring of truck engines, squealing of brakes, spinning of tires, car doors slamming or smell of hydrogen sulfide. There is no constant roar of a nearby highway -- the nearest highway is 20 miles away at the other end of the lake and anyway, it never has more than the occasional vehicle on it.
We have an electric golf cart which is totally silent that we use for all our transportation chores at camp including hauling our guests' luggage from the dock up to their cabin as shown here by Bow Narrows angler Ed Dziubinski in these photos.
We also use the golf cart for pulling boats out of the lake in the fall and pushing them back in the spring, hauling firewood, moving propane tanks and everything else.
The golf cart's electric motor is incredibly powerful. It can pull what the largest gasoline engine-powered ATV can pull and probably more. I think the power of the electric motor is something the petroleum industry does not want people to know. The golf cart works all day on a single charge of its batteries.
We know of a golf cart down in the States that is used to manoeuvre 40-foot travel trailers into the tight confines and around the trees of a campground.

It is an awesome machine.
