I wish the provincial camp grounds would build a boat launch area just for smaller roof top boats in that bay .It would be so safe for them getting off the water if the wind picks up in the main lake . I was caught in there once in my big boat when it got windy . When the waves hit that sand bar ,you could see the sand sticking out between the waves . It took along time to get out of there as the 2 ft waves were pushing us back in because we could not have the engine leg down lower than the haul. If we don't get any run off or rain this year that sand bar will be above the water level and it will just become a slew and fish will not be able to go in or out .

Back bays are open but super low.
This is MD campground at French bay.
Basically a place to launch kayaks, canoes and small tin boats this year unless we get a lot of rain.

Oh good, maybe now they can yank out that old concrete launch that served no purpose except to remove the skeg from your boat motor.

That is crazy low. Haven't seen it that low in the last 20 years.

This would make to much sense.

Would make sense to pull them out and move them into the water ,or better yet just add more into the water after they dig it it out .

What does not make sense is all these little towns and cities around the lakes in Alberta, would want people to come to there lakes to fish because its good for their economy . You would would think they would make all the boat launches safe and user friendly.
