Notes

Access is down a slight hill towards the lake from the Bernard Beach parking lot. There is a boardwalk that will be on your right hand side, which is covering a water discharge sewer/pipe. I believe that the source would be urban/road discharge.

Recreational uses included swimming and boating. No algae in the water. Water flow was slow and water level was average. Water colour was a light brownish and the water was clear. There was no odor or wildlife present at this time.
