Merry Christmas Everyone,
Just wondering if the water is still open? My DH saw a boat at the LCBO docks the other day on the webcam. Think we can still get across by boat?
Just a heads up…We were out for a boat ride on the weekend and were amazed at the large amt of police presence still on the water. They seemed to be checking fishermen more than anybody. So remember your boating and fishing licence and leave the beer on the pier!!!
Thanks for posting those pictures Bernard. Amazing how the water changes! Any chance you could e-mail me those pictures? I would really like to have these for my album. Also, can you see from where you are, if the tarp is still secure on top of the trailer in front of the flag?
They move it from just after the Thanksgiving weekend until about the May long weekend. It’s good though because you can keep an eye on the ice conditions. You can tell when snowmobiles start using the ice.
Could you believe that weather?!!! In our bathing suits the entire weekend. Water was cold at 66F. Hard to have the oven on for turkey with it being 25C outside!!!
I have a 17.5 deep v hull and trailer..the motor is a 115Hp but needs some work. If you have a 90 to 115 this would be a great boat for you. If interested reply back and we can get intouch.
Just wondering what a good venue to communicate to the residents of Honey Harbour / Port Severn. Do you have a daily newspaper? Radio station?
Please advise
Try Bulletin Publishing. They have a monthly and a seasonal paper covering Honey Harbour, Port Severn & environs & sorry, no local radio or TV stations… You do realize the size, as in geography & topography along with the population of the place?. The very idea of a “daily paper” is actually pretty hysterical.
The Ontario northland goes to the gas station at the top of honey Harbour Rd. They call it the Port Severn stop. They changed the web site and didn’t post that stop but just call them for the times. It runs twice a day.
Hi Jen
You are on the right Web Site to find out the answers to your questions. I wound look at the home page to find the Town Hall info. Where are you located?
Yes, as a temporary resident & cottager / rate-payer you are completely entitled to attend Council Meetings, lobby your MPP for the re-institution of the Spring Bear Hunt. I dont think theres much doubt thats theres’ a direct co-relation between its cancellation, combined with cottage sprawl & warmer winters’ with increasingly frequent encounters. Any long time resident or cottager from Honey Harbour to Cognashene/Go Home knows’ this recent development is an anomaly. Unless the OPP are minutes away, your able to call for assistance, their able to actually respond quickly, then ya, anything could happen.
Unpredictable creatures. The MNR as you’ve come to realize are hours if not days away from reacting, possibly tranquilizing and re-locating nuisance Bears from the area if in fact they even have the mandate, resources & personnel to do so. Meanwhile, Id suggest you invest in some cowbells & old fashioned dinner triangles and hang them from your eaves ever ready; along with Bear Spray.

Merry Christmas Everyone,

Can’t wait for snowmobile season to start….
Soon enough, as I see ice forming via the webcam…
It seem late this year. Hopefully by late January everything will be good….
I see a light dusting of snow on the webcam!
Glad we closed last weekend!!! I thought we might get another weekend but with snow on the ground I think we made the right decision!!!
There’s a bit more than a dusting there now!
Just a heads up…We were out for a boat ride on the weekend and were amazed at the large amt of police presence still on the water. They seemed to be checking fishermen more than anybody. So remember your boating and fishing licence and leave the beer on the pier!!!
wow what a shock after seeing no water for nearly the whole summer

Hi Jen,
Which site are you on? I don’t see a tarp on the trailer by the flag. You can email me at nicholsonconstruction@sympatico.ca
Why did they move the camera?
They move it from just after the Thanksgiving weekend until about the May long weekend. It’s good though because you can keep an eye on the ice conditions. You can tell when snowmobiles start using the ice.
Uh oh they moved the camera, we know what that means, snowmobile weather soon !!!!
Just got to the cottage and sitting on the dock. What a beautiful day. I think the weekend is going to be the same.
Could you believe that weather?!!! In our bathing suits the entire weekend. Water was cold at 66F. Hard to have the oven on for turkey with it being 25C outside!!!
Yea it was great, but now we have to wait until winter and snowmobiling I guess. Can’t wait !!!!
Does anyone know of or have a boat for sale. We have a good motor so just need the boat. No bigger than a 17ft. Thanks…
Hi Babs,
I have a 17.5 deep v hull and trailer..the motor is a 115Hp but needs some work. If you have a 90 to 115 this would be a great boat for you. If interested reply back and we can get intouch.

Anyone aware a shuttle or bus that goes to Honey Harbour? If so I could use details, thanks a bunch.

I am already aware of that stop, thanks though Debbie
