    Mcmanus lake questions .. and high falls ..

    I had a question about McManus lake campsites 1, 2, 3, 4 ... (as per the PCI map on this site)

    Would anyone know if any have decent swimming in front of the site ?  Sandy bottom ?  In addition all the sites look like a short paddle from the put in ... I have a novice paddler in a kayak coming along so I cant paddle too far.  Is it safe to say that those sites would be a short paddle ... very little current (I know its technically a lake but its also part of the river)... ?

    One last question ...  .. for the High Falls slide ... I assume theres no issue this time of year with low water ?

    Thanks

    I have camped on site #3 and it is a sandy beach site with good swimming.  It is quite shallow to begin with.  It is about a 10 minute paddle to this site.   I haven't camped on any of the other sites.  I have no info on the High 
    Falls slide.

    CAMPING IS WHEN YOU SPEND A LOT OF MONEY TO LIVE LIKE A HOMELESS PERSON!

    I’ve done the high falls slide in mid September with no problems. I imagine water levels around now are fine
