There was some interest expressed regarding improvements to water access at McCabe lake.
We are looking into options for having a dock installed at the Sandwick Dr Park on McCabe Lake.
Below are some photos of the current approach to the water, and some potential options for a dock coming off the shore.
Before proceeding with anything, we’re looking for your input.
