Bondi Resort Blog

Come on into our Blog for a look at the wonderful world we've got to share! With over 240 hectares (600 acres) of wilderness woodlands surrounding the resort, just ten minutes from Algonquin Park, we feature over 400 metres (1200’) of waterfront and beach; boat rentals; summer hiking trails winding through fields and woods; 20 km. of groomed cross country ski trails and snowshoeing in winter; access to nearby snowmobile trails for sledders, and a toboggan hill for the young at heart.

Smoking Lakes


One of the things we have going for us up here in Muskoka is that our winters are cold enough that the lakes freeze -- and after that happens, it is a dry cold. Down where the lakes stay open, there's a dampness in the air that lets cold weather cut right through you somehow, and it's not nearly as much fun.

But lakes take time to freeze over. This cold snap is helping a lot, and if this goes on, there's a good chance we'll be able to have a skating rink on the bay for Christmas!

On the way to freeze up, we get days like this, with glorious sunshine, and smoking lakes. The water temperature is much warmer than the air, so where the two coincide, vapour is formed, lifting up from the lakes like tendrils of smoke.
