Looking for opinions on boating at long lake. What is the launch like? Is there a play ground for younger kids?

This is the lake on 831 south of Boyle

There is a provincial park there with a park and activities for the kids. Remember there may be a liquor ban in provincial parks. Also some of the water bombers are taking water from long lake for the fires in opal as it is good, wide and long enough to skim accross the top for water. They were clearing the water of boats for the last week. There is a boat launch there too

Thanx Ron, I thought i heard they are pulling water out of half moon. But long lake looks like it would be an easier pull for them. Have you ever launched a boat there?

Was there on the week end, Water boomers where about 100' away from are boat. Kids went nuts watching them touch down and get water. Lots of sand beaches and play grounds for the kids. Docks weren't put in yet is the only thing and you have to watch for rocks when pulling up to the shore.

Thanks. Is the only issue with the launch, the fact people cant back up or is it the launch?
