About Me
- Dan Baughman
- Red Lake and Nolalu, Ontario, Canada
- My wife, Brenda, and I retired as owners of Bow Narrows Camp in 2017 but still live in Northwestern Ontario, at our home in Nolalu in the winter and soon at our cabin on Red Lake near the camp. I grew up at this remote fishing/hunting wilderness lodge which was first created in 1948. My mom and dad, Del and Don, bought the camp in 1961. My family then operated the camp until 2017.

Hey there Dan,
There is always a ton of conversation and information about "ice out" dates for Red Lake but I am having trouble finding information about "ice in" dates. Do you know anything about when the ice typically sets?
Hope all is well,
Neil Byers
You bring up an interesting point, Neil. Official freeze-up is more variable than ice-out. What usually happens is that the smaller, shallower bays will freeze weeks ahead of the big, deep bodies of water. The last place to freeze on Red Lake is usually the Forestry Stretch. By the time that happens in early December you could be walking on ice in bays like Sadler or Middle or even most of the narrows around camp. Those latter places can freeze in mid-November.
I see. Curious because I haven't seen much ice forming weather patterns for up there. I always thought it would be interesting to stay at a camp from September- New Years or beyond and document the fishing and wild life changes. We (tourists) all get to see what it's like up there May-August but have no idea what occurs Nov-April!
The only thing missing from this photo is audio. Every evening the loons play a symphony of music. This is the real "call of the wild."
