Paddling on New Years Day 2006

Each new passing year marks the advance of time and inevitable change. To mark this occassion and pass the New Year morning, we decided to venture out onto the open water on Lac La Ronge. Some attribute the open water to global warming, others suggest that it is part of a natural cycle. My perspective is....there is open water! Let's get out in the canoe and breathe the fresh winter air.

In your own back yard.

Living in this region has many benefits. Almost every nothern Saskatchewan community is adjacent to a river or lake. The communities of Air Ronge, La Ronge, and the Lac La Ronge Indian Band are no exception. The Montreal river flows through the community of Air Ronge on one side and Bigstone Reserve on the other, emptying into Lac La Ronge.

This is an amazing place for seeing all forms of waterfowl in the spring. You can see deer tracks, muskrats, beaver, and watch the pelicans fish in the rapids. A three kilometer nature trail begins at a campground area just off the main road between Air Ronge and La Ronge and continues along the south shore of the river to Bigstone Lake.
