• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Expect a half a mile walk in from where the car goes. A pier or jetty stands half a mile away, which helps on a crowded bank. Overnight stays are possible about half a mile out, where camping is mapped. There is a toilet block some half a mile out. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Should this one be busy, Brooklyn Lake is 0.6 miles off. Check the current arrangement for Snow Bank Lake.
