Summer traffic and timing

In July and August the village and Highway 169 get very busy. If your job is near the village, an early morning booking or a shoulder-season date (spring or fall) often makes the lift easier and can save time on site.

Tip for Bala: If you can, plan dock and hot tub lifts for May, June, September or October. Operators are often easier to book and roads are quieter.

Requests from Torrance, MacTier, Foot's Bay, Glen Orchard, Port Carling and the surrounding area are welcome too.

Bala questions

Can you work near the Bala village in summer?

Many Moon River lots are reachable from the driveway. Send a photo looking from where a truck could park toward the water.
