Good location liked the paddle boats! Bbq and outdoors nice! Fire pit was nice but didn’t get to use it due to restrictions! Swimming not the best as very rocky area! No AC so it is warm but we brought or own fans which helped some! Overall nice place and no issues!

Bel endroit sur le bord du lac, tranquille, propre et très confortable, bien équipé (extérieur et intérieur). L'endroit est bien situé pour visiter Halifax et les environs. L'endroit permet également un bon dégagement du ciel pour faire de l'observation. Nous avons bien apprécié notre séjour et notre animal de compagnie aussi. À refaire éventuellement.
