• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. Public data has parking about half a mile from the shore. There is a toilet block some 0.9 miles out. Part of this sits inside or beside Sunrise Creek Greenbelt, so read the notices. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Hine Lake, 1.2 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the position on Beers Sisters Lake Reservoir before loading the car.
