Admiralty

For other walking trails located nearby to Anmore, a real favourite
is the Admiralty Point Trail in the nearby Village of Belcarra.
The easy 5 km (3 mile) hike takes you to Admiralty Point through
a well-established second-growth forest past panoramic vistas eventually
to a picnic site and a small shoreline area called Maple Beach that
features Cod Rock, a large outcrop next to Burrard Inlet.
Ocean
Kayaking
For ocean kayakers the area north of the Belcarra Regional Park
picnic site has some great areas to try especially around Whisky
Cove, Cosy Cove, Jug Island and Bedwell Bay. For Kayakers coming
out of Belcarra Park or Deep Cove in
the District of North Vancouver
and exploring Indian Arm this area can be crossed quite easily depending
on the weather. You can find rentals and weather information at
Belcarra Regional Park.
Very
Popular
Just a note, if you do intend to visit Sasamat Lake in the summer
time, the area is very popular and the parking lot fills up quickly.
In addition, White Pine Beach can sometimes get a little crowded
especially with the local teenagers during the hot weather, so try
to arrive early for a spot on the beach, a parking spot or, if you
prefer, a little more privacy.
Fishing
For people who love to fish, try angling on Buntzen Lake where there
are Rainbow and Cutthroat Trout, Kokanee plus some Dolly Varden.
Buntzen Lake tends to be a lot colder than the warmer Sasamat Lake.
