The ice is slowly melting away...making for beautiful landscapes.  If you can identify where this photograph was taken, we'll send you a print of it!

Kukagami Trails!

Public Service Announcement:

There are now 7 km of Ski trails track-set! The trails start across from Sportsman's Lodge. 

Snowshoe trails are also available at two locations. Some begin across from Sportsman's Lodge and travel through the white pine forest. Another trail starts at the tall tower (across from the dump) and goes about a kilometer to the Klondike scenic cliffs.

Skidoo trails have been open for a few weeks, and now nearly all the slush has gone from the lakes so travel is good! 

Maps for all trails are available at Sportsman's Lodge, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (except Mondays)


We ask that all trail users stay on their designated trails! There are lots of opportunities for everyone to have fun in winter...so please don't drive on the ski and snowshoe trails.

Live in each season as it passes, breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.  Thoreau

 

Winter has arrived!

   After a long and lovely autumn, winter has finally come to Kukagami.  The last bit of water turned to ice on the chilly night of December 28^th.  The snow came in small quantities until just a few days ago, and now there is a lot!  Time to get outside… snowshowing, skiing, skidooing, ice fishing…enjoy!

 

 

Photos

   The KEW Website has winter photos of freeze-up and snowy landscapes. It is a great place to post stories and photos. Send these to us at kewatch@gmail.com and we'll get them online!

December 29th

Overnight the wind died down, and at last all the water was covered with a thin sheet of ice.  Now we wait for more cold weather...and then snow!
