Beverley the baldy is happy all the beach goers are gone so she can have some chill time.

Sorry for shaking cameraā€¦the little jet didnā€™t want to keep me pointed the right way.

Summer 2026, thatā€™s a wrap!

Confirmed that the municipal campground and day-use area is officially closed as of 6pm this evening.

The lake is quiet.

Most boats and docks are in as families get ready for the winter season and all the things it brings. A late night on the water was chilly- hands are frozen. Good thing my toes stayed warm with slippers purchased at the local Pibroch colony vegetable stand. Toasty warm.

Thanks to all who respectfully used and visited the lake this year. There may be a few more pics to come pre-sledding season, but otherwise weā€™ll see you out there next year.

And remember, no pooping on the beach in 2027 please! šŸ˜†šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø The staff there will thank you for using the outhouse.

Toodaloo!

Donā€™t mind the ASA post that shows ā€œnot foundā€. The link works fine:

ā€¦One day weā€™ll teach them how to add images when a link doesnā€™t appear pretty. šŸ¤­

Pretty cool!

A Long Island Lake visitor recently won 1st place in a photo contest on a Pentax forum. Heā€™s out here frequently enjoying the lake with his family, and snapped the photo earlier in the season.

For context, this forum is big (5 million monthly views and 1000 daily posts) - largest like it in the the world. Check it out:

The Dapp Corner Store has CHOCOLATE slurpees(?!).

Thatā€™s the announcement for today.

So frikkinā€™ good. Like a slurpee milkshake combo thingie. šŸ¤¤

While out fishing, my daughter and I met another dad-daughter fishing pair on the lake. Shoutout and hello to ā€œSteveā€ and his daughter! Hope the perch was tasty! šŸŽ£

We were chatting about fish in the lake.

We have pike and perch in this lake. You can keep up to 15 of the yellow perch, and one of the northern pike if over 63cm long.

I thought this would be a good opportunity to mention the regulations in a post, too.

Make sure you have your fishing license and a copy of the regulations. The Alberta Realm app is a great resource where you can see your WIN card, fishing license, and download the regulations to your phone. Thereā€™s often NO service in or around this lake, so be prepared with a downloaded copy if need be.

The iOS version of the app is here:

Happy Sunday! Not so happy post. Seems like this summer is a bit angrier than normal (sorry). Butā€¦I think youā€™ll agree with the following.

Iā€™m going to preface this post with:

1) I am NOT a county employee
2) this is NOT an official page
3) I am a random guy who loves the area and hates to see it being abused.

ā€¦visited the muni campground yesterday and took pics of a few things of interest.

Note the garbage cans.
They are there for your garbage.
Pick up your trash.
It was a busy day and I saw people blatantly leave cans and plastic on the beach. wtf?!šŸ¤¬

Check out the new toilets this year. Nice buildings.
Theyā€™re for doing #1 and #2!
If youā€™re part of a family of approx ~9 from earlier this year, pooping in the bush 10 ft away from the toilet, or having your naked child go in the lake to do the 2 business is NOT acceptable. Why do I even have to say this?
This is not how we do it here, folks. Especially not around water.

Come on folks.
Itā€™s a beautiful spot here. Donā€™t wreck it. Make it your secret.

Keep it clean and quiet. Pick up your garbage, respect the land. I shouldnā€™t have to hear from a friend who stepped in stuff, or see unpublishable photos of human excrement. Nor should the hard working staff here have to clean up after you!

Grow up or stay away. Please. Donā€™t wreck this for others. And call out people if you see this happen. Let the managers there know if uncertain what to do.

Please keep the lake and surrounding area clean. We donā€™t need this turning into what other places have.
