Boat Basin Foundation was established in 1998 as a registered charitable organization to own the property via donation, to preserve the garden, and to promote interest and education in natural and cultural history.
Day trips and overnight visits are a charitable activity. Tax receipts are issued for a portion of visiting fees. Before arrival guests must recognize net revenues go to preservation of Cougar Annie’s Garden. Guests must also read a Waiver of Liability before arrival and verbally agree to terms therein upon arrival.
Boat Basin is within a wilderness area: only basic medical and emergency support is available. All visitors must confirm they are in good physical condition.
