Re: Weather at Lake Nitinaht

June 6: Wind conditions at the lake will depend entirely on the thermal engine. The temperature difference between Port Alberni and the coast is only 5C, however the air is unstable and if we get clear sky the ground will heat up and the thermals will start pumping.

Log at the Lake Nitinaht beach

I am sure you have heard about the log that wandered onto our beach over the winter. Well, it was suppose to leave by spring, but it refused.

Re: 2024 Nitinaht Road Reports

Travelled to the lake on Wednesday, May 29. As indicated by others, the road past Youbou is in good conditions. There was no traffic on the road, for me this was an easy drive. We are expecting some heavy rain in the next days, so potholes in some areas might get worse, drive accordingly. If you are...
