Fall and Creating Memories

Fall Colours surround the clear blue lakes and cover the hills and valley in golden and red tones. Take time to enjoy the quieter moments and you might notice a hawk circling up above or a young deer foraging a grassy patch in the woods.

Summer is here!

Summer is finally here! Time to get out the canoe and paddles and drift down the lake after a busy day. We are looking forward to a weekend of sunshine and warmer days with cool evenings by a bonfire. Guests arriving will hear the call of the loon who has been here already for a month and lots of newly hatched birds and cute little chipmunks running around the property.

Tall Pines and Sparkling Waters Return

Sparkling waters are returning today and the ice is melting and shifting. Streams from the Boyne Creek and Marsh's Falls enter from opposite sides of our North Bay on Lake of Bays and create enough movement to melt the ice and both meet in the centre of the Bay. The large sheet of ice left over then shift and moves becoming smaller and smaller. Spring brings many great changes!

February Winter Carnivals - Dorset and Dwight

It's winter carnival time again with endless fun in the snow. Some highlights of this long time tradition are Pancake Breakfast, Fishing Trophies, Pie Baking Contest, Children' Entertainers, Indoor Horse Racing or maybe minnow racing, Dog Sledding, Chain Saw Carver, Log Sawing, Karaoke and a community dance. The whole community welcome you to to join in for the cost of a Carnival Button purchased around the village. Come and join in the fun in the sun and snow! To see Dorset Carnival highlights and Dwight Carnival and see you enjoying Moose Tongues at the Carnival.

We have SNOW

The forests are blanketed in snow and the lake is still sparkling blue, a spectacular sight. Some downhill and x-country trails are open and snowshoeing is everywhere. Come and join in the fun.

Here and there we still have splashes of colour mixed with a leftover dusting of snow. The air is cooler but great for hiking in the park to return to a cozy fireplace with a good book. It's great having snow that doesn't require shovelling.
