PITT LAKE

on june 24 2017 my sister ROSEMARY and i took a trip from NEW WESTMINSTER to PITT LAKE on the tour boat BETA STAR. we left NEW WESTMINSTER at 9.50am and headed up river along the way we passed two laid up NOAA ships that came up from SEATTLE WA a month a ago. they were the SURVEYOR and the MILLER FREEMEN wich were both built in 1959 and 1960 wich looked very old. then when we went by the port mann bridge and entred the PITT RIVER we came across the old albion ferries that use to run from FORT LANGLEY to ALBION wich they were the KULLEET and the KLATAWA wich are now up for sale wich now a bridge was built to replace the ferries  in 2009 and make it easier to get across the fraser river. . then around 12.15pm we entred the PITT LAKE  and the lake is very big and had lots of  boaters around wich is a very popular place for boaters wich they come up the PITT RIVER and enter the lake from there. along the tour of PITT LAKE we came past a resort named WILLAMS  LANDING wich is a  place for boaters and passed two islands  wich one is named jail island then  after that we headed down the lake and down the PITT RIVER and back to the FRASER RIVER wich we arived back at NEW WESTMINSTER at 4pm overal the trip to PITT LAKE was worth it and on the boat they servied us lunch and got great vieus of the lake and the PITT RIVER . the PITT LAKE is one of the biggest lakes in the lower mainland and is worth seening.
