Just down the road from our site is a little gem of a place called Old Woman Bay in Lake Superior Provincial Park. Hwy 17 runs straight past and offers some great views as you come down the hill. One of our locals is featured in the video (as is our kayak). Nice to see [...]
After weeks of no surf, the river mouth started to pick up a little while ago and some of our staff got out for some good pre- and post-dinner sessions. On July 29, much to the entertainment of our guests, the waves tossed around a few people and allowed for some good pictures. There were [...]
Hi Friends! We had a trip get back from Michipicoten Island a few days ago, and upon arrival we were told they’d seen an albino caribou! How amazing is that? Albino caribou are very rare, and we’re told this particular one has only been seen a couple times. Michipicoten Island is home to one of [...]

My strength comes in some mysterious way, Some dour, hidden, secretive corner of my soul. I search for that which I do not ever know. I am connected [...]
Posting these poems every week is giving me lots of different ways of thinking about the lake, and I’m loving it. I hope all of you out in the world wide web are enjoying them too! Happy Thursday! This week’s poem is by Katie Mumford: The lake is very big and cold. It screams power [...]
A group of students from Northland College in Ashland, WI spent a few days here at Rock Island Lodge last week. Aside from some paddling and hiking, the students wrote some fantastic poetry about the lake. Each followed a loose format where a few lines had to begin with certain words: The lake is… My [...]
