In addition to using insect repellent, here are a few things you can do:

wear long sleeve shirts and long pants

tuck your pant legs into your socks (yes it looks goofy, but lymes is no fun)

wear a hat

if you're with a partner, have them inspect your clothes periodically for any ticks that may have joined the trip

Tuck your pants into your shoes/socks, wear light colored clothes, and lots of DEET.

Any insect repellent with Deet in it or Avon's Skin-So-Soft.
