While the temps make it feel more like winter currently (it’s been trying to SNOW today), the rivers still say it’s SPRING! The ice on the inland lakes is changing daily and everyone is hoping their favorite lakes will be clear by fishing opener. Hopefully we will get some warmer temps so we can all enjoy some sunshine soon.
Have a great week everyone!

The ice on the inland lakes is going out slowly. I mean it was snowing yesterday and it was in the low 20’s this am, so…
But there are a few open spots where you can see progress on some lakes. This video is of Crescent Lake boat launch on Thursday. Obviously we couldn’t deny Timber his first swim of the year even though there were a few snowflakes flying around. Personally I (Alisha) think I will wait for awhile!
Have a great weekend everyone!

It’s amazing what happens when you have snow melting in the woods and get 2-3 inches of rain! There are pop up waterfalls all over and creeks in places you haven’t seen them before. When you stop and think about how much water is moving right now it’s scary! If you go exploring be careful, the trails are slippery and might even be under water in spots, depending where you go.
This video is of Temperance River on Monday night. It’s never fun hiking in the rain, but it was worth it to check it out
Have a great week everyone!

The rivers are in full force after the rain we got last night. The amount of water in Cross River and Temperance River went up dramatically! If you’re looking for a reason to get outside, checking out the rivers is a great one.
Have a great weekend everyone!

The sun is shining, the birds are chirping and the snow is melting. Can’t ask for more in a spring day! If you haven’t already, get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather, we have waited a long time for a day like today!
Have a great week everyone!

The snow and ice are disappearing fast along the shore of Lake Superior! And by the look of the ice chunks coming down Temperance River, the ice is opening up in the woods as well! The weather is supposed to cool off this weekend, but that’s ok because even if we get snow it won’t last, Spring has officially moved in!
Have a great weekend everyone!

Between the melting snow and rain we have gotten, there is a lot of water running on the North Shore. Temperance River for example is starting to put on a show and you can finally get to it without battling the ice.
Have a great week everyone!

Seeing a Robin this time of year is a sign spring is going in the right direction. Seeing 2 is luck. Seeing 10+ is something I (Alisha) had never seen before, until this week! First there were just a couple and the next thing I knew the whole tree was full of Robins eating berries off the tree! If that’s not of sign of the end of winter I don’t know what is!!
Have a great weekend everyone!

While the snowstorm hit yesterday, Lake Superior put on quite a show. The waves broke up some of the ice that is still built up on the shoreline, and we got another 4-5 inches of snow. Tonight we are supposed to get yet another storm bringing 4-8 inches of snow. It seems we are going to have the winter scene a while longer before spring moves in.
Have a great weekend everyone!
