Six Mile Lake Provincial Park May 24 weekend

Overall Park Rating:  5/10
Nature Aspect Rating: 5/10
Recreation Factoring Rating: 8/10

Well we went to this park with really low expectations, it's right off the highway and didn't really seem impressive by the descriptions and such.    We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the park!    there is significant highway noise and boat noise from the jetskis on the lake, but the park itself is quite lovely!






It's got a park store, which is a bonus, and a well staffed gate house.  there are boat rentals as well.   there are some really crappy sites along the main road,  almost as bad as the ones in McRae!!  but there is also a lot of nice sites mixed in all the areas.   some of the lake side ones looked quite spectacular, if that's your thing.

The trail is quite lovely,  takes you along a few ponds, the lake, some nice rocks and such,  and some lovely trees.  All in all quite nice!   It was quite buggy though.  but that's to be expected!




One thing that was unfortunate was that the security staff was missing in action by about 2am.  our neighbours set off fireworks in there firepit at around 3am.  on the plus side, the security did eject them from the park in the morning, i guess there were a FEW reports of fireworks ;).   there was also a lot of excesive noise all night, but it' was a long weekend, so it's hardly not-expected.




the park fire wood was good quality!  it was dry,  paint free, bug free and  lovely.

so all and all, it was a good experience! we'd go back!
