Default Dangerous

Very risky in bigger water. Almost lost it on Pinehurst back in 1986 with a boat like that.

Now only run 18 footers to 22 footers. Three different boats for different reasons.

Best for you to go to that small Trout lake just north of Burnstick lake. It has a lower valley, good access, and bays for shelter if winds come up.

It has great brook trout fishing.

It's called Birch lake and has three islands for nice shelter for you.

Easy to get to. Good roads. You have the advantage as you can drag your light boat down to the shore whereas others cannot. Not sure if small motors are allowed or not. If not distances are short so you can row. Bring insect repellent.

Best lake for you if your around Calgary. Southern Alberta just too windy. Very treed area and pretty. No bald prairie.
