12/10/2005 Ewan (Avg: 2.40 Review) - If you've just been in Indian arm, consider this a great way to get your equipment rinsed! Not much to see, but check for hidden treasures (other than beer cans) to pass the time. No safety stops required - bottom extends a long way from beach at depths no greater than 35'/10m.

10/03/2004 Andrew at Coquitlam (Avg: 1.66 Review) - Longish walk down to the shore from parking; it's a pain the butt to bring gear back up. As far as scenery, it's fantastic if you like mud. Other than that, it might be cool for looking for stuff that people dropped into the lake around the dock area.
