Colour Update
Hello Readers
Well the cavalcade of colours has begun and it really seemed to take-off after Tuesday's storms. We are starting to see great colour change around here and there is a good carpet of leaves scattered about the grounds. This morning we were greeted with a magnificent rainbow across the southern end of the lake.
Those looking to see colours next weekend, we have one 2 bedroom cottage left. It is lakefront with a woodstove and sleeps 4. Rate is $260 plus tax. With the delay in the leaves changing I imagine we will have a spectacular Thanksgiving Weekend, Mother Nature willing, and we still have cottages left for a Friday-Monday stay. 2 bedrooms on the water start at $450 plus tax, for 4 people.
I was swimming on Tuesday! The water was not bad, a bit fresh, but so refreshing after a day of hard work. I hope I will get in a few more times but who knows.
Our Thanksgiving Weekend is starting to look like our summer business in that all the guests currently booked have been with us for Thanksgiving before.
Till next time

Colour Update
Hello Readers
Well we had just a beautiful day today. We have guests staying in cottage #1 and they had a glorious day sitting in the sun by the lake and paddling about in the rowboat & canoe. Tonight they are enjoying a cool crisp evening around the campfire with an amazingingly clear night sky over head. Tonmorrow I believe they are heading into Algonquin Park for the day.
The colour change has commenced and apparently the hwy 60 corridor in the Park is around 10-20%. Around here I would say it is about 10%-15%. We are starting to see some lovely oranges and reds on the tops of the trees surrounding the lake and the ground is getting a nice scattering of leaves.
We had a group in this past weekend and yes, some were in for a swim. The temps are looking like they may rise over the next few days so I am hoping to get in myself. Some years I have managed to swim right up until early October!
Till next time.

Fall Colour Report
Hi Readers
Just so you are aware, the Fall Colour Report is now available and a great way to keep up to date with how the colours are going. See http://www.ontariotravel.net/publications/fallcolourreport.pdf
Or of course you can just send us an email and we will give you our opinion on how the colours are going.
The Rave Bongo is now out of the water as well as the raft. I took them out on Sunday when the weather was still on the warm side. Actually the water was quite nice and hoepfully I'll get one or two more swims in before the end of the season.

September News
Well hello Readers
So where did the summer go? Anyway, it has been a cooler and wetter week up this way but things are looking up for tomorrow and Saturday with sun in the forecast. I will probably take the opportunity of warmer temps and bring in the raft and Rave Bongo for the year. I have also been busy catching up on jobs around the place and getting ready for the next round of Fall guests.
There is already some slight colour change to some of the leaves and even a few have hit the ground. I will keep you posted as to the progress as I know a majority of you who come up this way in September & October do so for the colours. It is also a good time for walks in Algonquin Park and Arrowhead.
We have plenty of openings for the coming weekends so if you are looking for a quick break give us a call. For anyone interested in a stay of 3 nights or longer please note we give a reduced rate.
Thanksgiving always fills up, so if that is in your plans let us know.
For those of you who have stayed with us in the fall before, note we have installed new heaters in cottages 6, 7 and 8, so things should be a nice and cozy should the temperatures drop. We also have a new dock and a additional kayak in our fleet.
Till next time
