{
"difficulty_correction": "Change 'Hard difficulty' to 'Easy to Moderate difficulty' - web source explicitly states 'relatively easy with minimal elevation gain'",
"location_correction": "Remove 'Canadian Rockies' framing and 'near Boyle' - sources indicate West of Edmonton at Range Road 408, not in Rocky Mountain range",
"duration_correction": "Change '2h15' to '1-2 hours' per source",
"remove_section": "Remove entire 'At the Lake' section's kayaking/canoeing content: 'The calm surface works well for non-motorized watercraft. Kayakers and canoeists can explore the small bays and inlets around the perimeter...' - This is unsupported fabrication",
"keep_section": "Fishing reference can remain as it is confirmed by sources",
"trail_description_correction": "Add: 'The trail loops around East Pit Lake with some intersecting ATV trails present. No official trail exists around the entire lake perimeter, so route finding will be necessary. The terrain includes sections without clear marking.'",
"remove_content": "Remove descriptions of 'dense coniferous forest typical of Canadian Rockies', 'creeks with wildflowers', 'treeline clearings with peaks' - these are not supported by web sources and appear fabricated"
