HINTON TO BRULE LAKE

[NoBrakes!]

Got out Sunday with a few friends… took a dip in that water… WHHEEEEEW there goes the hangover!

I lived in Hinton as a kid, the best part of that boat ride was going under the highway 40 bridge! Used to camp at Jarvis Lake every summer until my teens, even after we moved back north. Was some good fishing there, big pike and lots of yellow perch.

We’ve been going for September long weekend for the last 3 years and the group keeps growing! Great spot

Did a little swimming in the river myself last Saturday. That’s such a awesome view when you enter the lake on the river!…

Where do you launch, River front park?

Where do you launch, River front park?

Might be? It was basically under that willow creek bridge

 

[HotShotHarry]

Riverfront park is for canoes only. Willow creek bridge is the local boat launch.

Some of the properties along the river have great beaches and stunning views. I saw a whole new side to Hinton.

How is the water level?

There was a couple big visible rocks and a few sleepers just below but it was at a great level for our first time through, river was easy to read. My feet touched the sand bottom when I jumped in the lake.
