SITE OF THE MONTH
Stainbrook Springs and Leavitt Conservation Properties
These two properties, located north of Caroline, Alberta, can easily be visited in one afternoon.
STAINBROOK SPRINGS: This 17-acre site is located north of Caroline (go north to on RR 61, then east at TWP Rd 373, then south on TWP road 55.) It is located on the east side of the road. The site is a fisheries enhancement area managed to protect important sport fish spawning and rearing habitat on the North Raven River (Stauffer Creek).
This location provides excellent bird and fish watching (for brown trout and brook trout during fall spawning season). The creek stays open all winter and exploring the area on foot or on snowshoes makes for a very pleasant hike.
