PROBUS Outdoors Club – Marten Lake
July 20, 2023 @ 10:00 - 12:00
This week on Thursday, July 20th we will paddle Marten Lake. Betty’s directions from last August are below.
Directions:
– north on Highway 11,
– turn right on Marten Lake Road,
– drive east approximately 3 km crossing two “single lane” bridges,
– boat launch is on the right hand side.
There is parking on both sides of the road. There aren’t any washrooms or picnic tables.
Betty brought the TP last year, I will bring some this year
Marten Lake Road is between Bidwell Road and Beaverland Road. Those are your landmarks. Don’t confuse Marten Lake with Marten River. We are turning off Highway 11 south of Marten River and the provincial park. If you reach the park, then you have gone too far and you are headed towards a totally different adventure.
This week will be a longer than usual paddle, so be prepared. There will be a paddling destination of getting to a beach which apparently is Crown Land. (This was researched by Norm last summer). It is my understanding that the goal of the beach didn’t happen last year, so we’ll try again. The plan is to bring our lunches and eat at the destination beach. Bring your lunch, a snack if needed and lots of water.
This is the route taken last year (Thanks, Norm, for this.)
It has been noticed that we are a bunch of keeners when it comes to paddling. The majority of us are unloaded and in our kayaks well before 10:00 a.m. Just sharing that fun fact. No pressure.
Please email Barb on Wednesday, July 19th if you are planning to attend.
Thanks,
Barb
