km. to Secondary Hwy. 642 (also known as Twp. Rd. 560). There will be a sign
indicating Sandy Beach prior to reaching Hwy. 642. It will indicate that to reach
Sandy Beach you need to turn left.

(do not use this address in GPS as it doesn’t take you to this location. The grass
at the driveway is cut and so is the grass leading from the driveway.

Beach, when you reach stop sign at Hwy. 44 continue west on Hwy. 642 following

GPS
For the city put in Lac Ste Anne County and you want the intersection of Range Road 13
and Township Road 562. From Hwy. 44 it will likely show you travelling west on
Township Road 560 which I believe is the same as Hwy. 642. When you arrive at
intersection of Rge Rd. 13 and Twp Rd. 562 follow directions in 5 and 6 above.
The coordinates as displayed on my GPS are N53.83602 W114.08088 so these can be
used with the GPS or the information just above. Since these coordinates are off the road
you will need to follow details in 5 and 6 above.
