All is set for Saturday August 1 West End Boat Tour noon to 4:00
For kids of all ages, there is plenty of opportunity to explore each site.
For Seniors or anyone unsteady on their feet,
1. Stop at Golden Arm. The ground is nice and level here and there are nice places to pull up, but you can join the excitement from the boat if you prefer. Enjoy trails, music and extra surprises
2. Please stop at Frank Paishk's as bannock and ice tea can be delivered. Check out the cabin. Franks' home for 60 some years.
3. At the museum, there is a porta potty just for the day. There are chairs and cold water in the museum. Dock hands are on hand to help you land at the dock. Kids can join a scavenger hunt here and explore. New pictures new items to check out.
4. Cole Mine is a ride away but worth the trip. Amy Newport has the history and geology here. Stop and chat with the Safe Waters Crew who will be working at Pipestone Narrows or anchored at Cole Mine. Trails lead to old mine tracks and ancient mining equipment so plenty of exploring here.
IT'S AUGUST LONG. SPEND IT ON THE LAKE

Just a note about our West Red Lake Mining Museum tour on Saturday, August 1, noon to 4:00.
No one will be at the Frontier Landing in Scott Bay to greet you. Experts will be at Golden Arm (Rowan Lake Mine Landing), Frank Paishk's Cabin at West Narrows and John Y Cole Mine as well as the Museum.
As you go further west on Red Lake, you will loose cell reception, so take a good navigation map (Red lake Marine). Latitude and Longitude positions are marked here under the pictures.
See you there!

A NEW REVISED TOUR
(please note no one will be at Frontier landing on August 1)
Have you made plans for August 1 this summer? Here's an Idea.
Take your family up the lake for a day of exploring. 🚣‍♂️
If you'd like to help call Enid 😀 I need some people at the sites and helping with boats.
For people without a boat, contact Enid at (807)727-0321 She will attempt to get a ride for you. Seniors will have first priority.

We are looking for rocks from Lake Rowan Mine, Miles Mine and Mount Jamie to show how different they can be. Just a rock from waste pile would be great!

The new exhibits are up, something different this year so drop in if you are out boating!
