Tracey Recommends: Horseshoe Lake

BY TRACEY ELLIS

Othello and Horatio are ‘fantasy fishing’ at Horseshoe Creek;

My favourite pick is a time traveller – it’s my favourite childhood fishing spot (above). Horseshoe Lake access is not well advertised so there are few visitors except via the Powell Forest Canoe Route. Exploring this beautiful lakeside spot with my three boys brought back memories of fishing for cutthroat trout with my dad, campfires and hot dogs. The magical camping spot for the canoe adventurers offers up a bounty of huckleberries for snacking on and the perfect swimming spot off the shallow granite bluffs.

Gabriel (in his long-hair phase) is giving Daddy (Tristan) a few tips on photography.
