here's a few pics from last year when i had my kiodak 450

Are these pictures taken at the very last lake? We are going up and have only gone to the very last lake. We would like to camp closer this time but also want to have nice sandy beaches and sandy lake bottoms....
Any suggestions?

:feedback:If you would like to PM me your email addrress I can send you some JPG'S of the area. I do not do pictures on FORUM'S:confused::eek:.;). It seem's that most riders go to the SIX Lakes, approximatly 90+- km's from the staging areas. Do you do GPS? Make and any software the you might have for it.

its the last campsite back, but theres a stream just down from the campsite and we took my boat 2 more lakes back. Everyone calls it the back side of six lakes. sorry it took me so long to reply since sled season was over i havent been online much.

Yeah I'm on team 503 at Syncrude... If anyone is interested in going on on a trip let me know, we'll get the groups together....

I was up there last 6 off at east jackson for a couple days.... This six off coming up I'm headed to Net lake to some timeshare cabins and I'm pretty stoked! Time to put a few more hours on the 800 outty!

Just got back from up there and Jackson lake trail is CLOSED the water table is up and the bridges are out so the rangers have closed it until they build bridges. We were the last group in there, lucky we got in before the gates went in. I do think the bridge we built would do with some slight adjustments but hopefully they get on it soon. Fishing was great and the parking lot to unload is now at roughly the 30km mark as they are building a permanent road up there. Will have some pics tomorrow when i find my camera.

Is there walleye at six lakes?
I only caught jack fishing from shore.
I'll have a boat this year.

What are the campsites like at jackson?
We camped at the back of six lakes near where that creek is.
So beautiful.

Thanks guys!
