April 12, 2019 Once again the long Alberta winter is finally almost over.  The snow has started to disappear already, but the ice on the lake is not really showing any sign of melting yet.  Like last year, this season should be pretty relaxed.  Many of the new families who came to the Resort after the construction period have now settled in to their lot.  However, several families decided to change lots over the winter so don’t be too surprized if your friends from down the road are now right next door.  There were some vacant lots that resulted from

November 8, 2018 As was recently announced by the Municipal District, they have re-assigned all rural (physical) addresses.  Late last month a new sign was installed near the entrance to the Resort showing that our new address is: 731024 Rge Rd 260 MD of Lesser Slave River #124, Alberta When directing people to the Resort, it is always good to tell them that we are on Fawcett Lake East Road, to help them make the right turn after passing through Smith. This information can be found on the Directions page of our website.  Note that this is our physical address,

  April 2, 2018 Although it took a little longer than usual, we ended up getting quite a bit of snow this winter which should help keep us from getting too dry this Summer. Spring is coming and I am pretty sure that Dale was joking when he said that the snow maybe won’t finish melting until July this year … I guess we will just have to wait and see. Thank you to him for submitting the Picture of the Week during the winter to keep us updated on conditions at the lake. Right now it is difficult to

 April 4, 2017 The snow is melting, the temperature is warming up and everyone is getting that feeling to go to the lake again. Sure, many people were at the Resort for short stays throughout the winter and it was a busy year for ice fishing, including another Family Day Ice Fishing Derby. Thanks again to Curt (lot 160) and friends for organizing this. However, there is nothing like that first day looking out across the open water. Watch for updates to the Picture of the Week and we will see how long it takes for the ice to melt

I have to admit, I am getting a little tired of the snow this year and glad to see it start to disappear. With all of the early melting in the city, people have been thinking about summer at the lake since February. However, even with that great big ice cube next to us, many people have been surprized to see that winter at the lake lasts well into April. If you want to see what the current conditions are like, you can usually see a recent picture by checking out the Picture of the Week in the News section

This past summer will be remembered for its unusual weather. Of course the late spring did finally arrive but it did not bring the typical rain that we are accustomed to. Then we had weather that was wetter than normal, which continued into an extended autumn. The early lack of moisture led to a second fire ban at the Resort in two years, which is extremely unusual. The fire ban was declared province wide, so I guess we weren’t the only ones that it affected. I am happy to announce that 2015 was our 10th year with Dale & Anita

Spring is just around the corner … maybe. Sooner or later it will finally snow for the last time this winter and the weather will finally warm up. Then the green grass will show through and it will be time for those hot summer days on the water. Life at the lake was busy last year with the many new Annual Campers setting up their lots the way they want them, and meeting their neighbors. This year we will see even more new families getting comfortable at the lake as several lots were taken at the end of last summer,
