For those who would love to try kayaking but are nervous or would benefit from a little extra stability - we have a brand new solution!
The amazing Matt and Kenny from Digby Area Recreation Commission installed outriggers on two of our kayaks!
Think of them as 'training wheels' for the kayaks that add more stability and buoyancy.
Who's ready to come take these bad boys out for a spin?? 🛶
We had a special guest on the lake this week.
Wildlife Explorer Olivia from... somewhere (I cant identify that accent...🤔) was out on Haines Lake watching for elusive paddlers.
Check out her wild adventure here.

It's raining!! Beautiful, much needed rain. ⛈️☂️⛈️.
Thanks for everyone who came to play earlier today, but we're locking things up a bit early now.
Perhaps we'll get some sunshine again tomorrow.
We're here 1 to 7pm Friday, then 10am to 7pm on Saturday and Sunday.
See you soon! ☔️

2026 Lost and Found
Here are the goodies that have been left behind so far this summer. If you see anything familiar, pop on by and grab it!
Also - a kayak paddle was found today floating in the lake. If anyone on Haines Lake lost a paddle - send me a message to arrange getting it back to you.
Thanks, friends!
