Extreme caution, awareness, and appreciation of hazards are essential for safe boating on the Site C reservoir.
The banks of the reservoir are easily eroded and subject to sloughing from reservoir actions. If wave action is severe and you need to reach shore, it may be difficult to make a safe landing due to cliffs, unstable banks and/or floating or submerged debris along the shoreline.
The nearby shoreline protection berm is a large barrier made of rocks, gravel, and other materials designed to reinforce and protect the shoreline from potential erosion from the Site C reservoir. A public walking trail is located along this berm. Use caution when walking here, especially during winter conditions.
