Hey all! SO just like that June is over! What a whirlwind month! Happy Canada Day to all our Canadian friends and Happy Independence Day to all our fiends south of the border! Hope you all have a great long weekend! We are going to sit back and take a breather here! Camp is still [...]
As we begin our sixth season here at Five Lakes Lodge, I am reminded of why I really do love this life! I'll be honest with you, some days I long for my old "normal" 9 to 5 day job and camping and fishing on the weekend life! But then a week like this one [...]
OMG! We have been busy little beavers here at Five Lakes Lodge the past month! Ian (and his friends... as our regular laborer Ron was out of town) have been busy! After the bathroom in Cabin 7 was gutted and redone, the boys moved on to the kitchen in there. We have new cupboards!! Yay! [...]

Ya, ya, I know.... Its been a while. Well it's been busy here! We've had a beautiful fall and the snow has finally started to fall and the ice has finally started to form! Last year the bay froze over here in front of the lodge on November 19th and this year it was the [...]
Well the last 3 days here at Five Lakes Lodge have been nothing but cold, damp, and rain.... rain... and more rain! We actually were under a "rainfall advisory"! So needless to say that not one boat made it out on Saturday after everyone made it in to camp. Everyone just hunkered down in their [...]
Been a busy month here for us at Five Lakes Lodge. The kids were gone to Calgary AB to visit their Aunt Britt for a week and take in the Calgary Stampede. We had family up visiting us for 2 weeks! And the weather has been amazing! There was lots of fishing.... tubing and swimming [...]
