And just like that the ice is gone and water is back. Big winds do that.

Batchawana Bay just keeps on giving. Swimming in summertime, and skating in winter time. Largest skating rink in the world. I don't want to argue about this. What a Beach Day. A great way to pass the pandemic on Feb. 3, 2021. Tourism Sault Ste. Marie @Destination Ontario Destination Northern Ontario Algoma Kinniwabi Sootoday.com The Sault Star CTV News The Weather Network

ATTENTION SNOWMOBILERS STAGING AND DEPARTING FROM THE VOYAGEURS' LODGE. Please my mindful of our neighbours and do not sled across their front lawns. Once the Carp R. is frozen you can cross the highway and ride the shoreline to cross the Carp. River. You can ride right beside the ditch on your way to the Carp R. bridge. Please proceed with caution as this is a neighbourhood, and be watchful for any children who may be outside. Please do not revve up your cans and make ...unnecessary loud noise when proceeding to the Carp River hill. If you take our trail through the back yard up to the Carp R. please stay off of our x-country ski trail. A friend grooms that and we really need that two track trail for x-country skiing. Thank you so much for your respectful and considerate actions. Enjoy your day and be safe. Frank O'Connor. Share, Share, Share! See more

BREAKING NEWS FROM THE LODGE! Snowmobile staging is now available at the north end of the lodge. There is not much snow yet and the Carp River is not yet fully froze but hopefully in Jan. that will happen. This is a courtesy service to thank all of our sledders who visit us so often in the open season. We are very thankful and just want to make things easier for you when heading up the Carp Rd for some winter fun. Here are some parking dos and don'ts. Do Park at the north ...end of the lodge up against and parallel to the north motel. Park against the tree line at the north end of lodge by stage area. I will keep it plowed. In these two spots there is room for probably a total of 5-6 trucks/trailers to park. After that the lot is full and you will have to find another place to park and sled. Be mindful of our neighbours on either side and use common sense. Don't Do not park infront of the Tesla Chargers. They must be accessible to Teslas. Do not park ontop of my inground gas tanks as I must keep them clear of snow. Please leave my main parking lot free so I can plow snow there while you are gone. Some other reminders. a) Unload and go. Please do not run your machines around our yard or our neighbours' yards as the loud machines can be disruptive. When you arrive back from your day of fun please do the same. Load and go. b) Check your area for garbage, oil containers etc. Do not leave anything behind. c) If you are gone for the weekend just let us know so we can keep an eye on your safe return. d) Do not block the main laneways as we and others have to come and go from our property. e) Lock your vehicle and remember that we are not responsible for your vehicle. Stay safe and have fun out there. Frank and Gail. Please share with all of your sled heads.

Here is a display of all my inventory that is available for sale.. Charcuterie Boards are hanging on the wall and standing up, and Lake Superior wall plaques are on the bottom shelf. I am currently working on a major inventory of wall plaque sets (moose,bear, wolf) kayakers, canoeists, trees, etc.

The Voyageurs' Lodge and Cookhouse 06.01.2021

Please read this. Very interesting logic here.

The Voyageurs' Lodge and Cookhouse 01.01.2021

Some large sized charcuterie boards that I made over the Christmas holidays. Going into River Rock inventory for sale unless someone wants a New Year gift to themselves. Personal message me if you are interested.

Winter Lockdown Update From Batchawana Bay! Hello good friends and customers out there wherever you may be. We hope this post finds you well and healthy and safely tucked into your homes. Gail and I have been hunkered down here in Batchawana Bay during this Lockdown, and we have found many ways to keep ourselves busy. No trips south this year, but lots to do around here. We have xcountry skiis and hopefully this week we get a little more snow to be able to use them without ...hitting rocks and branches. Very little snow here this year. We have spent alot of time in the house painting. We (Gail mostly) has repainted our kitchen, dining room, main hallway, guest room, and next up is our bedroom. Freshened the whole place up. I have been very busy in my woodshop (aka the garage) making wood charcuterie boards, wall hangings, coffee tables, and a few other things. I have learned so much about working with epoxy resin and hardener, and alot of YouTube videos has got me through it. Alot of my projects I have sold to folks, and I am trying to build up an inventory to go into our River Rock Gift shop this spring. We are continuing to make upgrades to the lodge. In early winter, we refloored two guest rooms and the laundry room, and this March we are pouring a commercial grade epoxy floor in our Cookhouse kitchen (Mystic Rains Const. is). We are also re-plumbing some of our Cookhouse Kitchen with new sinks and more sinks (Superior North Plumbing). Gonna be a great reno for all of our kitchen staff. Our plan is to open the General Store sometime in mid to late April, and open the Cookhouse when we are permitted to . We expect it will be like last year - take out only, then patio, then indoor dining with limited capacity. So we hope one and all have a safe and healthy second half of winter, and we so look forward to seeing you all again this Spring. Cheers good Friends - Frank and Gail. Below is just some of the projects Frank has been working on. See more

https://www.saultstar.com//reflecting-on-the-meaning-of-ch Dear Voyageur friends and dear customers. Christmas has always been a special time of year for Gail and I and our family. Here is a little reflection I wrote for our local paper, The Sault Star. Hope you enjoy the read and Merry Blessed Christmas to all of you. May the peace and Joy of the Christ child fill your hearts during these very difficult times.

The Voyageurs' Lodge and Cookhouse 08.11.2020

I have always commented publicly about the significance of Remembrance Day here in Canada. Here is this year's edition. Lest We Forget.

The Voyageurs' Lodge and Cookhouse 06.11.2020

Sorry friends, our apple fritter trees are completely sold out for this Christmas season. Thank you very very much for your wonderful support.

The Voyageurs' Lodge and Cookhouse 31.10.2020

This past season, Gail and I kept up on our schedule of maintenance, renovations, and capital expenditures at the old lodge. It takes alot of upkeep to maintain a large bricks and mortar business operation, and even in these very difficult times, your continued patronage permitted us to continue upgrading our operation. Thank you so much friends and customers. We are very appreciative of our contractors and suppliers who partner with us to create the vision we try to achie...Continue reading

A new charcuterie board with the big lake featured. Bird's Eye Maple. Smaller Board.

The Voyageurs' Lodge and Cookhouse 22.09.2020

So you wonder what Gail and I do during the long cold winters. Well, we work at some reno projects, we paint, we cook, we bake, Gail learns to master her Cricut machine. But what I really like to do Is put on CBC radio in the garage, and work with wood, resin and epoxy. Charcuterie Boards, wall hangings, log slab tables and that sort of thing. Below are some projects from the last winter. Alot of Youtube lessons at night. Right now I am making two log slab coffee tables and a whole whack of charcuterie boards in Bird's Eye Maple. Hope you like the pics. And oh ya - We run our on-line River Rock ordering system (check out our gift ideas), we make apple fritter Christmas Trees, deliver them in time for Christmas, and take Oaklee for walks on the beach.

The Voyageurs' Lodge and Cookhouse 07.09.2020

And so it is that year 18 is in the books. The Closed For Season signs are up, the gates are across the hwy entries, and the whole enchilada is ours alone. Oak...ley, the lodge dog, has free reign on the place, and her and the squirrels are ecstatic about the free range. My maintenance staff member, Nancy, and I have some renovating and cleanup to do, and then after that, it is down time. In fact, we do have a few interesting things up our sleeve for the winter. Our on-line ordering system is being launched so that you can order gifts from River Rock. Yes our famous Hwy 17 hoodies and sweats and hats will be available for Christmas shopping. And - the big news is the development of a new delicious product for Christmas - our Apple Fritter Christmas Tree. Pre - orders have been huge already with free delivery to Sault Ste. Marie on any Thurs. in Dec. leading up to Christmas. The Dec. 23rd delivery date is already booked full so please book a Dec. 3rd, Dec. 10th, or Dec. 17th delivery date (all of which are Thurs.). Remember the trees can be frozen and brought out in time to thaw and set up as an attractive and very edible decorative centrepiece. Gail and I, and our entire staff, have so many people to be thankful for. Our amazing suppliers, who are an integral part of our team, and our customers who have become such good friends over the nearly two decades in business. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You know how much we appreciate all that you do for us. It is hard to believe that on a cold Jan. 30th night in 2003, we arrived here to begin this journey of building a destination resort and Trans Canada Highway travel stop. But here we are, still going strong and still loving it. Every roof, septic system, water system, and guest room has been rebuilt or renovated over the years, and in some cases we are on round 3 of renovating. The inspiration to build a lodge themed around the fur trade, the voyageurs, and the importance of this trade route along Lake Superior to Fort William came from the great Canadian author, Peter C. Newman, and his books chronicling the life and times of the Hudson's Bay Company and its adventurers. The significance of its company men, Canada' indigenous peoples, and the importance of the fur trade to Canada's development as a nation are all highlighted in everything we do here at the lodge So as we retreat into our winter dwelling, with sporadic periods of fritter frying for Christmas, or filling River Rock gift orders, we wish all of you a safe and healthy winter season. Time for hot cocoa, a warm fire in the hearth, and the company of your loved ones to pass the long winter nights. Cheers, Frank and Gail .

It's a long one - but I have alot to say. It’s Thanksgiving morning on Batchawana Bay, and in what has come to be a wee bit of a tradition on this particular morning, I find myself perched infront of my laptop keying some words of thanks. The stars are still dancin’ to and fro, a slice of the moon is hanging in the southeastern night sky, and the lights illuminating from Sault Ste. Marie are visible 40 kms across the water. My coffee pot has just finished brewing a batch of ...Continue reading

Called Brad Radburne from Superior North Plumbing and he was there in under 2 hours.

For all your plumbing needs in the Soo and north shore of Superior call these guys. Very reliable, trustworthy and just good guys all around.

The Voyageurs' Lodge and Cookhouse 17.06.2019

Dear Voyageur Friends and Customers: In light of the recent spike in Covid-19 cases in Ontario, Gail and I, and our staff, have decided to finish the Cookhouse season off with Take Out only. Take out only will begin this Monday Sept. 21st (hey the first day of fall), and continue until we close the Cookhouse on Sunday Oct. 11th. With the more than tripling of cases in Ontario in the last 3 weeks to over 400 daily, we feel it is the responsible thing to do for the safety of ou...r staff and customers. We recognize that many of these cases are in larger population centres, but here at the lodge on the Trans Canada highway, we serve travellers from all over Canada everyday. Our staff have remained safe and healthy through the last 5 months of serving Canadians, and we really want to finish the year off on that note. They have worked tirelessly with masks and shields on, sanitizing tables and chairs and equipment continuously, and monitoring the social distancing of guests. We will continue to offer our great burgers and fish dinners in a take out manner, and we will ensure that our lodge guests are fed with meals to go back to their rooms at night. The Take Out service at the Cookhouse will be open daily from 11:30am till 7:00pm, and you can call in, order online, or order in person. All motel lodge guests will be given a complimentary morning package with a muffin, juice, fruit and yogurt so that they can start their day off with some nourishment. This is a big decision taken by us, and it comes after alot of thought and discussion with our staff. We feel it is the best thing for us to do right now at this moment in the Pandemic. Our General Store/Agency Store will still be open daily from 8am till 7pm, and our guest rooms are still available for travellers. Our Apple Fritters are still being sold daily but you can expect that by 2-3pm they will be sold out. River Rock Gifts will be open Thurs. - Sunday from 11am till 6pm for the next few weekends, and again will be watching Covid movements to make decisions there. We remind all guests who go indoors into one of our shops that masks are required, social distance from others, and sanitize your hands upon entry. The fall colours this year are amazing, (and in full bloom right now) and we encourage all of you to make your yearly pilgrimage up the north shore to see the trees in their fantastic reds and golds. Thank you so much for your understanding of our decision at this time. We have been so grateful for your support since this all started, and we wish all of you health and safe being while we proceed through this second wave. Cheers to all of you and stay well. Frank and Gail and the Voyageurs’ Team Please share this message. See more

The Beaches North (Havilland, Harmony, Batchawana and Pancake) may not be very good for sunbathing today, but they will be great for wave crashing. Give it a try.... Motorcycles be careful in those cross winds. And remember - we may run out of Apple Fritters in the late afternoon. Yesterday was 700 fried and sold and then our bakers had to tap out. Our cooks, bakers, servers, housekeepers, dishwashers, gas attendants, and store clerks will be labouring today on this Labour Day so you do not have to. River Rock Gifts has a new truckload of our iconic 17North Sweatshirts that just arrived. Some youth sizing now and long sleeve shirts. Great Cozy wear. Drive Safe! Happy Labour Day! We are open until 7pm today Pics from Sawpit Bay Today at 9am. See more
