what to expect

Twin Lakes Provincial Recreation Area is 65 km north of Manning on Hwy. 35. The lake is excellent for canoeing and non-motorized boats with lots of wildlife viewing opportunities. Fish for trout, hike the loop trail to the second lake or take a dip in the cool deep waters. A hand launch and fish cleaning station come in handy at this lake stocked with trout. Electric motors only are allowed on East Twin Lake.
