No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Betty Lake, 3.3 km away, makes the obvious fallback. For Upper Sylvanite Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
