One of our many sightseeing stops, loved all the information nearby about this area. The log chute was amazing just thinking about how they used it before. It's falling apart again but still neat to … Full review by Picture_Perch

Parking is before your get to the chute. (Sign re what parking is acceptable needs to be reworded). We walk through the trail to get to the Log Chute which provided some excellent views down river … Full review by NeilP451

Hello, We will be staying at a cottage on Big hHawk Lake and we were wondering if it is possible to arrive to this attraction by boat? Would there be a place to dock it while we visit?
A:
I honestly don't know about docking. the lake comes right up to the chute dam but I don't know what is on the lake side to dock at. Sorry. Katherine
Hi, is this a ride? I looked at the pictures and there is nothing in any of the pictures of the chute. If it is a ride, can a 7 year old handle it? She's up for anything that kid.
A:
No, it's definitely not a ride. It's a historical site that wouldn't be of interest to smaller kids but, as the reviews say, it's a great piece of Canadian history that's well worth the drive. But …
No, it's definitely not a ride. It's a historical site that wouldn't be of interest to smaller kids but, as the reviews say, it's a great piece of Canadian history that's well worth the drive. But then, I'm biased, since I was the project manager of the 6-year rehabilitation project!
Hi, Is it ok for children 5+ to go? How safe did it look like? Where abouts did you enter the river to fish? Is it allow the tubing down the river? Thank you

A few hundred yards downstream of The Chute, there is a place where you can pull your car off to the right, safely. This is where you can inflate you inner tubes and launch your party on the river. The river is quite gentle, and shallow.... perfect for young children as long as they are accompanied by adults. There are one or two places that the river narrows, and the current speeds up, and you need to actively paddle your inner tube to keep it in the center of the river. If you have a 5-year old child, he/she would need to be on an inner tube with an adult. It's about a 45-minute trip along the river until you reach the first road crossing bridge. Just before the bridge, is where you should exit out of the water, by the bank on the east side. As far as fishing goes, there are some minnows that merganser ducks feed on but, other than that, it doesn't appear to be a favourable river for fishing. Hope this is of help. God Bless.
