Lumberjack Lodge 2024 season

Typical of May and June in Northwestern Ontario, it has been cool with unpredictable weather, but that hasn’t stopped our most avid fishermen! Let’s hope that July is also typical and we see lots of sun and high temps.

We’re hoping for an abundant blueberry season this year and are already seeing lots of green berries taking shape. We should be able to pick by the third week of July.

The 2024 fishing season has been fantastic – especially for the anglers who know where to look for the fish in different weather and wind conditions.

Thanks to our guest Joe Rohan for taking the great aerial shots of Lumberjack last month! So nice to have the post-construction bird’s eye view!

 

Stunning Auroras

The northern lights put on a spectacular show during May and we are hoping that predictions for fantastic viewing here in the north will be correct.

Solar cycles have been recorded since the eighteenth century. Back in 2020, a panel of scientists predicted that the current solar cycle (solar cycle 25) would be fairly weak, similar to the previous cycle. Solar activity was expected to peak around July 2025. In October 2023, the Space Weather Prediction Center of the USA’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued a revised prediction for solar activity. This forecast a quicker, stronger peak of activity with solar maximum expected between January and October 2024.

While the latest cell phone can take decent photos of the Aurora Borealis, our resident photographer still suggests you bring a camera with a manual setting and a tripod if you want to try and capture this awesome phenomena.

Perhaps the biggest news in 2023 was that the ALL NEW LUMBERJACK LODGE celebrated the end of construction during our Grand Opening events in July. The cabins, lodge and even the fish house have all been renovated or rebuilt. We’ve also added better camping facilities and built a playground.
