the chickadees, Canadian Jays and other native
birds following you. It’s the perfect venue to
experience nature photography and viewing. The
nighttime skies are ideal for celestial viewing
with virtually no light pollution. Millions of
stars are visible, and occasionally the northern
lights make a colorful
appearance. Try an
evening outing to enjoy
the starlit skies, sparkling
snow, the hooting of the
owls and other nighttime
creatures.
East Grand Lake Area is
a premiere place to fish
for Landlocked Salmon,
Lake Trout and Brook
Trout in every season, but winter is special. Ice
shacks dot the lake like little villages on the frozen
tundra. Social interaction among the fisherman is
common as everyone anxiously anticipates the
next flag going up. Nothing is more exciting than
running to the hole to see the reel spinning and
wondering how big the fish is on the other end.
There is the exhilaration of feeling the fish fight as
you reel it in, hoping you’ll get it up through the
hole before the line snaps and always optimistic
that it’s a keeper. No matter the luck of the day,
just spending time in such a peaceful location is
treasured. It is often said “why would I want to
go south in the winter when I have all that nature
has to offer here?”
If you’re looking for an
adventurous or tranquil
place for your winter
getaway, we hope you
will consider visiting the
