Remember to Slow Down

With the Canada Day long weekend a few days away boating season is in full-swing.  This sign from Greenwater Lake Provincial Park is a good reminder of an important rule on the water.  The high water levels this spring and high winds have undermined parts of the shoreline of Marean lake, and wakes from boats using excessive speed near shore only compound the problem.

Please remember to reduce speeds close to land as a courtesy to people on the shore and to prevent damage.

Boat Launch Fees

New boat launch fees have been implemented for the 2017 boating season.

Cabin owners within the Marean Lake Resort (the community that contains McCrea Beach) will continue to use the boat launch adjacent to the beach at no cost.  Anyone else using this launch (including cabin owners in the resorts to the north and west of the beach, and the general public) is required to pay a launch fee of $50 per season or $10 for a weekend.

Appropriate stickers for all boats are available at ‘Bob’s Place’, the store at the beach.

Please remember that parking for boats and trailers near the beach is extremely limited and day-users will need to consider alternatives.

Marina Docking Changes
