Point Grey

Mini school Point Grey from Vancouver was at SPL last week. The students as well as the instructors had a great time. Some of the groups got the chance to explore a new campsite on the west side of the Upper Campbell Lake. Because the water level is so low, and the narrows between Upper Campbell Lake and Buttle Lake turned into a rapid, it’s impossible to paddle to the campsites along the shores of Buttle Lake.
Instructors found another campsite on the Upper Campbell Lake and named it Cutthroat Trout Point. There is a lot of cutthroat trout in the lake and because the new campsite is right across from Dolly Varden point, it wasn’t really difficult to come up with a name for our new spot.
Some Point Grey students had the honor to be the first SPL-visitors to camp at Cutthroat Trout Point. They did a big sweep and cleaned the beach area. There was some garbage lying around. Stuff that other not so well mannered no trace campers had left behind. Other Point Grey groups went to the campsites on False Echo.
The reconstruction of the swimming bay is done. The heavy machinery is gone and the beach looks much better. Hopefully the water level will come up soon. A few nice warm days with a lot of snow melt will do or a couple of very rainy days will work too. At SPL we opt for the first though.
