For those interested, there is 13 inches of ice 100 feet out from the end of the boathouse. Cleared a spot of snow and drilled through it Friday afternoon. That is not a lot for this time of year, but is plenty for any recreational activity.
Limerick Lodge is now open for winter activities. Lodge reservations for this winter can be made by e-mail (info@limerickodge.com) or directly on line on this website. Book your winter outing with us and skip the hassle of trying to warm up the cottage. The cabins will re-open around April 15th.
The phone system has been a little flaky since being turned back on. If it gives you trouble, contact us by e-mail or on Facebook. A software up-grade is planned for later in February.
The weather still looks great for the next 7 days for riding the trails. Lots of snow on the ground, lots of sunshine, and moderate temperatures. Should be ideal. The local club has staked and opened the 950 Limerick Trail. Virtually all Old Hastings trails are now open. Refer to the trails page for reports from Paudash and Haliburton.
Haliburton has posted that the gas stations in Wilberforce, Kinmount, and Gooderham have all closed. Fuel is no longer available in those towns. Plan those changes into your trail riding route.
There are a few parking spaces available in the marina parking lot. Please do not block the garage doors.
Exciting news...there will be a new boat dealer, Makin’ Waves, on Hwy 62 just north of Bancroft this coming season. One of the premier mechanics from this area is one of the founding partners. This should provide some long needed service improvements for the area. They will carry Legend and Mercury among other brands.
Trudy’s General Store is now listed for sale with a commercial brokerage. Anyone out there looking to buy a 7 day a week job?
Don Weller’s beautiful - ready to move into, with road access, cottage is still available. Asking price is $750k, but Don will entertain all reasonable offers. There are some photos of the cottage and accessory buildings in the Photos 2011 gallery on this web page. The Forbes cottage on the left side of the North Bay section of Limerick Lake is also still available.
Limerick Lake Lodge has booked a booth at the new outdoor adventure show at the CE Center near the Ottawa airport for March 17 and 18, 2012. This is a new show for the Ottawa area this year.
