Description
Our family (myself, my wife and son) live on 4.5 acres 15 mins. from Williams Lake. We have 3 fish ponds with Rainbow trout in them. We encourage mobility impaired and handicapped people to come fish and have a relaxing day. We also target 5 to 12 year olds to try to interest them to enjoy the outdoors. We grow a 3/4 acre garden. We would welcome some help with the property from a 20+ year old male. Someone who enjoys mountain biking would have a good time here in their spare time. Williams Lake has an active mountain bike club and lots of groomed trails. Anyone who comes can catch and release fish in their spare time. We have 2 ATVs for going out in the bush. We live beside crown land.
We are on the grid with all the facilities. We have hearty meals including fish, meat, eggs etc.
