Road and Lake

Old advertisement

This ad was in an early 1980's Haliburton Echo newspaper.

Possible sale

Over the years, a number of people have asked about possible properties for sale on Elephant Lake.

Since this lake is a prime location to have property, partly due to the outstanding Elephant Lake Cottage Association, it has come to my attention that a possible cottage may be coming up for sale.

On the west side of the lake, between Elephant Lake Lodge (old name) and Silver Springs, there is a 1940's built cottage with an interesting boat house built  into the lake.   The property is 40 acres, but Elephant Lake road splits the property, with most of the property on the west side which is a high hill.

The property is in the process of settling an estate and 'may' come up for sale.  But nothing has been established at present.

This message is just a 'heads up' for interested individuals.

Wolves

Although seldom seen in the area, wolves are present.  They have recently killed a fawn on the ice in front of East Bay.

The lack of rabbits is also an indication that wolves are harvesting them.

Since turkeys are such strong flyers, they don't seem to be so affected by wolves and many people are seeing turkeys this winter.

Winter road

Lots of branches down, a few trees to clear.  Very deep snow this year.

Christmas Causeway

Snow is extremely deep, about 15 inches.  No sign of snowmobiles on the lake, probably due to the slush that bogs down the machines.

Winter coming
