The sun’s subtle strength is working on the ice along our shore…
Facing South doesn’t hurt either.

Spring Morning
This morning was marvellous. Sun, no wind, not cold.
It rained last Thursday and Friday turning the snow on the ice to slush which then froze on Saturday. The lake is now skateable for the most part.
An intrepid snowmobile driver tried the slush late Friday afternoon. Snowmobiles and slush do not go well together. The track has since frozen. He had a very tough time going anywhere, but he succeeded. His machine is not frozen into the lake anywhere near here.

Winter Lake
Looking east down our lake.
The ice is getting more and more solid.
Soon we will see snowmobile tracks. When that happens it will be safe to walk out some distance.
Until then, we wait.

The Bay is Frozen Over
One Mile Bay has been frozen for about a week now. We’ve also had some snow.
It will be this way until April.

The Cove
A favourite swimming area on Trout Lake is The Cove.
Yesterday was our first frosty morning of the fall and along with the frost came mist.
The water is too cold for swimming these days but it’s still a neat place to go on a sunny morning.

Go West
This is the mouth of the Lavase River, where it enters Lake Nipissing. For 150 years The Voyageurs paddled through this channel in the spring, on their way west to Thunder Bay on Lake Superior. The return voyage passed this point and ended up in Montreal in the Autumn. Lake Nipissing is controlled by dams on the French River these days, and there are navigation markers in place. However the place is pretty much the same as it would have been 150 years ago.
In the spring the water would be much higher than it is in this photograph, but by fall it would probably have been as you see it here.
