Dwight Bay -- not only where the ice is, but where the fish are too!

 That fine looking fish hut belongs to our cousin, Ross Tapley.  He's got a couple of them out on Dwight Bay this winter, and if you are staying here with us at Bondi Village, you can rent from him, and spend the day cosily waiting for fish...

Of course, those of you who prefer not to fish can leave the fishermen to have at it, and spend the day on our ski and snowshoe trails instead.  Or curled up by the fire with a lovely cup of tea and a deer looking back at you from the lawn.

Or you can all saddle up the snowmobiles -- yes, trails ARE open (but be super careful on lakes -- most of the lake trails are not open yet.)  You MUST know the ice conditions (Ross knows!)  Dwight is blessed with two rivers entering the bay, making it a great site for fishing at any time of year.  Located just five minutes away from us, it lets the fishermen enjoy their sport, while the 'rest of us' play with the snow in the great outdoors.

The snowmobile trails are all posted on the Muskoka Snowmobile Region website.

Thanks to Gloria Woodside for these pictures, snapped yesterday.  That's the Dwight Dock, all covered with snow, at the public beach at Dwight.  this is an iconic dock for the Muskoka region -- once upon a time it was a prime stop for the big lake steamers.  The roofed section ensured that folks waiting for the boats were sheltered from all weather.
