AGM Followup

It is always good to visit with our lake neighbours before and after the meeting.
In addition to the business, our guest speakers were fascinating and engaging. What a privilege to be part of this community!

You can follow the links per the email sent to membership on June 18th.
We encourage you to read through the material to learn more about the lake:
* Business
* Life at the Lake – The Libary, Shoreline Plants, Lake Events
* Lake Steward Report
* Guest Speakers
* The Trapper – Rory  Cummings
* Park Biologist (Acting) – Amy Strizic

You will want to read thoroughly, so you can answer a very important key question at the corn roast…
“How long is the firehose?”

Ice Storm 2025

Ice Storm 2025 – March 30th and April 4th

  • POWER
    • Although the HydroOne outage map indicates up to 76 customers are affected, with a projection of May 1st for power restoration, many cottagers have responded to me to report they have power.
    • The damaged hydro pole has been replaced.
    • Check the outage map for the status
    • Register to receive updated
  • Birches have taken quite a beating
  • Update 2025 04 08 morning:
    • Anstruther: Passable
    • Fire Route 55 (Jessica Drive): has a few permanent residents. They’ve cleared the numerous downed trees , so it is more passable. 
    • Fire Route 57: cleared for car passage. Although clear of trees, the road is still soft and snow covered in places, and at this point, remains not quite drivable.
    • Fire Route 58: in rough shape but passable
    • Fire Route 58F&G: is not passable unless you’re driving a serious truck with high clearance. It’s still snow covered in place. Beaver pond overflowed and washed out part of the road
    • Fire Route 58D: the road is passable, although road work will be required

Hello Loon Callers,

We had a good turnout today, with bins full of food collected and a nice catch up with cottage neighbours.

But… if the grey sky and raindrops, or anyting else, kept you off the water, we will be out on our docks with food bins waiting, on what promises to be a beautiful day tomorrow. 

See you on the water!

Watch for Turtles

Announcements ·

North Kawartha Township News – Turtle Crossing Alert

6/6/2024 9:39:46 AM

Please be aware of turtles crossing roads through North Kawartha, especially during warmer months. Your safety and the safety of other drivers is top priority. If you see a turtle on the road, please do not stop your car in the middle of the road or walk into direct traffic.

When handling smaller turtles, gently pick them up behind their front legs and move them in the direction they were heading. Snapping turtles can be aggressive, so use something long and sturdy to guide them to their destination.

If you cannot stop to help a crossing turtle, please try to avoid hitting the turtles by slowing down and steering around them, where possible. Cautious driving can help protect the turtles!

If you find an injured turtle, contact the Ontario Turtle Conversation Centre at 705-741-5000. They operate a turtle hospital that treats and released injured turtles.

Drive carefully North Kawartha and help our adorable, shelled friends cross the road safety!
