The map clearly indicated an campsite at the end. 16km later by bumpy and dusty gravel road up the mountains I've discovered this jewel. In the middle of nowhere, far from civilization, the settlement and a few cabins. I meet wonderful people in love with Mother Nature, protecting this place maniacally. I've been awarded with permit to film the property, but politely asked not to tell where is it ...

What a pristine location for nature.

I would have been spending some of my time fishing....

I really liked your video (out in the boonies) ...  The fallen trees in the water (so clear)  I didn't see your boat in the shots   Did you use the Inspire 1 Pro also, at this location?

Awesome!!
All the best

Rich, the road at the end is so narrow that I couldn't access small marina with my huge boat. These people don't want to make any improvements, allowing only dinghy size boats with 6HP motors on 5km long lake. The water there is crystal clear indeed, filled with rainbow trout from local hatchery. A paradise known for few chosen ones ...

This footage was made with P4P+ exclusively. I didn't want to make too much noise around. Almost felt guilty buzzing above ...

It was good to finally get a brief glimpse of you. ;-)

Surprised that this wonderful green oasis is only16km from you, and yet you never knew about it...  Fantastic.



You will be back... Haha

You funny! You know there's no such place in 500km radius! The truth is I was lost. I took off the paved highway into this forestry road in Shuswap Lakes country (hint, hint!), almost lost my denture on bumpy ride up the hill, and finally stop at the property gate. I'm pretty sure I've heard the sound of 12-gauge loaded in nearest bush and a dueling banjo theme in background when I was trying to turn my trailer back ... I took me good hour to convince residents that I'm a harmless nature lover and explorer, not a moron-ish invader... Later this day I was allowed to park on the property, lost a bottle of good rye and made new friends. I've heard unbelievable stories about frantic attempts to chase away herds of wild campers and protect the natural habitat of this place as much as humanly possible ...

Yes, I was going along with your mysterious location.  The land of OZ... Hahahaha


What kind of fish are in the lake water? I bet you could trophy and recreational fish, in that same "pond".



Now that you have made new friends, you will go back, some day.

I'm not a fisherman, but I've been told that 2lb rainbows are common there. Small pond acts as a hatchery, you can see a gate between, just next to boat deck.

I'm consider this lake as a final resting place ... For my boat, that is

Is there anything that tastes better, than fresh caught trout, stream side in a hot pan with butter, on an open fire?

Back straps.... Yes.... Hahaha


I wouldn't mind a final resting place such as this, myself....

Wouldn't it be much better, to access a lovely location such as this, in our younger years. Too late for me, but to others. I would say, pull up your tent pegs, burn the stakes, gather up the kids and like the Beverly Hillbillies, head out to a new adventure. Yes, a wilderness/forest, with running fresh water, nearest you.

I am always facinated about those Canadian lakes where the dock only sits a couple of inches above the water, because the water level never changes.

Some unobstructed, pristine Canadian lakes are pretty stable with water level, indeed. Many aren't, however. That's why our docks are mostly floating, just like these on River Thames near London City.

Cheers, Brother Geebax.
