Walking & Hiking
There's a lovely little walking path that circles the main island, featuring two benches where you can enjoy beautiful views of the lake. This trail is perfect for both kids and adults since it’s easy to navigate without the risk of getting lost. On the tallest island at Errington Lake, you'll find a climbing trail on the west side that leads to a lookout point offering stunning views of the western part of the lake. Just keep in mind that this trail is quite steep, so be cautious!
It's been a few years since a forest fire affected some areas along the shoreline. While new growth is coming back nicely, you’ll notice that you can see quite far through the trees. Feel free to explore any of these trails, but if you decide to venture deeper into the woods and lose sight of the lake, it’s wise to bring along a compass or use GPS on your phone. Having some experience in navigating such areas can also be helpful, as it's easy to get turned around. Although we haven’t had any bear encounters around our lake, it's always smart to take appropriate precautions while hiking in forested areas.
Enjoy your adventure!
Birds & Wildlife
We often have eagles that come by the lake, and they’ve recently built a new nest southeast of us on another body of water after their previous one was lost in the fire on our eastern shore. As for loons, you can usually spot and hear them, especially in the evenings.

While there have been some moose seen swimming across the lake, it's not something we see frequently since the forest fire; wildlife is still making a comeback. Occasionally, you might catch a glimpse of otters or beavers along the south shore.
In winter, we’ve noticed timber wolf tracks around here, but it seems they move to different areas during summer for hunting since we haven’t spotted any during fishing season.
Norther Lights, Stars & Photography
If you can, stay awake on a clear night and keep an eye out for the northern lights! You can often see them from around the campfire, and sometimes they even dance right above where you’re camping. Without the interference of city lights, the stars and satellites shine brilliantly.
Don’t forget your camera—spring and summer bring a variety of blooming flowers, and the landscape is bursting with new life. You might also spot some loons nearby, and as summer progresses, you'll likely see their adorable chicks making an appearance!
And of course, Fishing!
Alongside the fantastic fishing for lake trout and northern pike, many anglers also target the abundant whitefish found in the lake, particularly during the June mayfly hatch.
In spring and late fall, trout tend to move into shallower waters, making them easy to catch while trolling with spoons, Rapalas, jigs, or pretty much anything you have in your tackle box. From mid-June through the third week of September, you'll find most trout hanging out in depths of 30 to 80 feet. Some folks prefer using heavy jigs, while others opt for deep riggers.
When it comes to pike fishing, they’re active year-round and will bite on a variety of baits.
For whitefish, smaller spoons or jigs paired with a maggot or tiny worm work wonders. During the mayfly hatch, catching them on flies can be a real blast!
