Driving Tour
I'll try to guide you around Bright Sand Lake starting at Spruce
Lake. Head east on Grid Road 796 till you come to a sign with 4 names on it;
Sunny Acres, Diamond Willow, Eastview and Sandy Point. Head north.
Sunny Acres is
your fist stop. A small subdivision of 32 lots with some very nice cabins and also bare lots. Not
many trees but folks are planting trees where they want them. Mother Nature
sometimes lets us. You can watch the Sun Rise and the Sun Set and also have a
great view of the lake. The beach is easily accessed by all lot owners. Lot
owners take great pride in their subdivision as the grass is always cut and the
beach area is well looked after.
On with the tour!
Driving north you will come to Eastview Acres and Diamond Willow Estates. Both
are on the same lane, Diamond Willow to the right and Eastview Acres to
the left. Diamond
Willow has 30 lots with many nice cabins and great view of lake. Eastview
Acres has about 30 lots also but fewer vocation homes. Folks here have planted
100's of trees. Very well kept subdivision. Back
to the grid road and head north to my "Happy Place" Sandy
Point. 110 lots make up this true hideaway nestled in an "Old
Growth Forest". Best beach on the lake in my opinion but what
do I know? If you like seclusion and getting away from it all; Sandy
Point could be for you. If
you can pull yourself away from "My Happy Place" head north to
grid road 795; turn right and take a few curves till to see signs for
Bright Sand Regional Park. Drive in. The
Regional Park is a true wilderness park, 2600 acres. At this beautiful
park you'll find: golf course, mini golf, canoe rentals, cabin rentals,
campground, concession, playground, hiking trails, etc. I could go on and on but
it's best if you check their web site www.saskregionalparks.ca
. Over
the years folks have camped at Bright Sand Lake, fell in love with the lake and
ended building a cabin at one of the subdivisions or acreages around the lake.
This could happen to you; so beware. Let's
continue with the tour! Back to the entrance and turn right. Next subdivision is
Mowery Beach, beautiful area with many nice vocation homes. Feel free to drive
around for a look see. "On
The Road Again." Sounds like a song! Maybe Willie Nelson could write
one! ( he did ) Point
your car/truck south to Evergreen Beach. Large subdivision of about 100 lots;
many homes here are year round dwellings. Lots of large trees, wildlife, birds
and really friendly folks. Venture
back to main road; turn south all the way down to Grid Road 796 and turn to the
west. A short ways down the road a sign appears, Crystal Bay/ Sunset View why
not turn in and check it out. Mile long beach, very large public reserve and
some of the biggest cabins on the lake. Drive
through subdivision; at reduced speed, coming out at west end you will hit 796
again. A hop, skip and a jump down the road you'll be back to where you started.
Spruce Lake is just down the road. At
this time you may want to take another trip around the lake. Who knows you may
buy a lot or cabin. You may camp or go for a swim. Why not take a hike! Can you
see yourself laying in the sun, walking the beach, picking Saskatoon Berries,
finding a Tiger Lily, heading out on your sail boat or trying your hand at
wakeboarding. It's all up to you! HOPE
YOU ENJOYED THE TOUR
