I had just nicely come home from a beautiful morning spent showing some waterfront & water access only property on Pitt Lake when I saw the headline in the Maple Ridge Times newspaper.

Ayla Canoe told to move out

It seems that the 20 year lease of the property from the provincial government to the regional district of Dewdney Alouette and it's successor Metro Vancouver is coming to an end December 31, 2009.  The Williams family, a fixture of the Pitt Lake area have been running Ayla Canoe on the waterfront, living in and caretaking Grants Narrows Park for decades.  Doing a good job of it too!

The Province Ministry of Environment has stated that they have entered into talks with the Katzie First Nation and Metro Vancouver regarding a lease that may come into effect January 1, 2011.  Metro Vancouver has been asked by the Province to continue operating the Park for one more year which would give Ayla Canoe 12 months to pack up and leave or as Metro has put it, "Formulate an exit strategy".

I have fond memories of canoeing up Widgeon Creek in Ayla rented canoes on a hot Summer day, affordable and accessible.  A family activity that shares the wonder and beauty of Pitt Lake to those who don't own a power boat and out of town visitors. 

The complex legalities and interests of Provincial, Regional & First Nations governments seem destined unfairly to overwhelm this small family business and remove it from the lake for no good reason. 

The Williams family have started a petition which is available online at:  Let Ayla Canoe Stay  A hard copy is available at the Maple Ridge Chamber of Commerce and at Maple Ridge Chrysler as well.

Wow, it certainly was a tough day at the office yesterday,December 4, when I made the trip to Pitt Lake to view for the first time 2.6 acres I listed on the left bank of Widgeon Creek at the confluence with the Pitt River. This is not only a listing I have for sale but an excellent example of why I live where I do. The beauty and majesty of our Province is exceptional and it is so close to home in the city it doesnt take you all day or days to get to it.

The mountains, the river, the lake all were glorious on a cold but very bright early December morning.  The views from this property are stunning.  Offered For Sale at $299,000, this lot which clings to the side of the mountain has the start of a cleared building envelope and a spot for a float to attach to the property.

Here is a short Video, I call "Beautiful Day" which depicts my tough day at the office selling Pitt Lake waterfront property.  I start with a beautiful morning drive through the Cranberry & Blueberry fields of Pitt Polder with the lightly snow dusted mountains in the background as I make my way to Grants Narrows boat launch at the South end of Pitt Lake.  Then I take the short boat ride across to Widgeon Creek, disembark then take in the stunning scenery this acreage affords.

The Pitt Lake Web Cam is located at the Pitt River Lodge which is at the very North end of the real estate at Pitt Lake BC near the upper Pitt River where it flows into the lake on the waterfront. The main part of the Pitt River runs in the trees a few hundred feet away, the mountains in the background on the right are over 2500 feet tall, and on a clear evening you can see the Mamquam Glacier, at 8500 feet tall, near the tall Fir tree on the left. Fishing in BC try fishing in Canada's number one fishing destination, the Pitt River Lodge. We are the only lodge on the Upper Pitt River and live in this remote location year round. The most successful method to fish and see the wildlife the Pitt River has to offer is by the Lodge's guided raft trips: silent, stealthy and relaxing. Considered one of the greatest fishing rivers in the World, the Pitt River Lodge is just the place to use to help you take advantage of this. Check out their web site Pitt River Lodge.

I recently marketed a cabin at Debeck Creek on Pitt Lake, while using technology to market this property it became clear to me from the massive response that the old ways of marketing properties used by other Realtors were not getting the job done.

Due the remoteness of the area and the difficulty others have had with such things as mapping properties is it any wonder the buyers were not coming.  As of late I have been inundated with Buyers asking me for the list of currently for sale properties, a list which is very small in deed right now.

If you have been thinking of selling your cabin or lot property on Pitt Lake let me market your recreational property to the large audience your special property deserves using the latest Internet technology that others have yet to discover let alone master.  Whether your property is at Cozen Point, Williams Landing, Debeck Creek, Defrauder Creek, Osprey Creek, McPhaden Bay or one of the many other little jewels on Pitt Lake let me market your recreational property to the biggest audience possible which is extremely important when you are already limited to a select type of buyer who is comfortable with Water Access Only property!

Various inernet sources suggest that between 80%-90% start their search for property on the Internet but having a Web Site isn't good enough if no one can find it, my listed properties get found through co-marketing and placement on multiple web sites and platforms across North America.

I love Pitt Lake and it would be my honor to market your Pitt Lake Waterfront property!  Call today.

Pitt Lake is the second-largest lake in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, being about 53.5 square kilometers in area. It is about 25 km long and about 4.5 km wide at itswidest, and is also the largest tidal lake in the world, its confluence with the Fraser being only a few miles upstream from that river's estuary into the Strait of Georgia. Its southern tip, where the Pitt River resumes, is 40 km east of downtown Vancouver.

The upper Pitt River valley is a typical U-shaped glacial valley in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia. The over-deepening of the lower end of the valley over the span of the Wisconsinan glaciation created a trough over 140 m below current sea level. After initial glacial retreat at around 13,000 years ago a saltwater fjord occupied this basin when relative sea levels were still ca 120 to 140m above current levels in the region. Unlike neighbouring Indian Arm and Howe Sound to the north this fjord basin became cut off by sedimentation of the lower Fraser River by ca 10,500 years ago and is now considered a tidal fjord lake.

When spending an afternoon on this lake it is not hard to forget that you are actually on a fresh water lake and not a central coast saltwater fjord.

Pitt Lake offers incredible recreation values and only minutes from Vancouver without a several hours long drive to the Interior.  The north end of the Pitt Lake can be reached in about 30-45 minutes from the boat launch located at Grants Narrows Regional Park.  Only 45-60 minutes from the Pitt Meadows Marina located halfway between Grants Narrows and the Pitt River Bridge.  Pitt Lake is large enough to support waterskiing, trophy fishing, sailing and windsurfing without impacting on each other negatively.  Waterfalls and wildlife encourage photo tourism in the area.

 Many recreational properties dot the shoreline of Pitt Lake in such settlements as Williams Landing, Rainbow Falls, Osprey Creek, McPhaden Bay, & Debeck Creek.  Property title can range from Fee Simple Title, to Leasehold and Bare Land Strata lots.  Building lots and lots with cabins are available in all construction styles.  Standard can range from spartan and simple to luxurious and decadent.
