All Docks are In-moving on to the next stage to complete harbor!

Last dock heading to the harbor! 6 of 6! All will be in!

Dale in the Bobcat -JD pushing the dock over to Matt and move it right along to it’s spot at the end.

Matt headed for the little boat to get busy with the dock pole brackets with Justin.

Here they are 3 pretty amazing guys knocked all these docks out! Spent the last 3 days and built and finished up all 6 docks. Huge Thank you to Matt and Justin. We would be lost without you!!!

Here it is: All 6 Docks in and our boat landing roll in dock-now moving on to finish the guard rail and get power to every slip starting tomorrow.

Harbor Update – Docks will all be in tomorrow Sunday May 10th!

First dock in!

 

Each boat slip will have their own power outlets.

Saturday morning Justin is putting the dock cleats on for our camping guests so they will be able to tie off their boat when they get back from fishing this morning.

JD assisting and balancing the dock as they head to the harbor

Matt and Justin putting in dock number 4!

 

Safety guardrail work. Lots of cutting and welding but at least this will keep our guests safe.

Looking good, soon the grass will grow and this will green up nicely.

3 of the stairs are in, 3 to go!

Thanks to Justin giving up his weekend to join Dale and Matt, we will have all the docks built and in the water tomorrow! They start in the shop and the saw is going the drills are going the plasma is going, 3 hard working guys, then you hear the Bob cat fire up and chains rattle and here comes the dock sections all done and ready to go in the harbor. Down at the Harbor Justin puts his waders on, Matt is in our little 16ft fishing boat and Dale is in the Bobcat lowering the dock down to the water. Matt and Justin fit the dock in between the dock posts, and they start attaching the dock slides and boat protection belting around the posts. We still have a lot to do and after July 1st when the spawning restriction is lifted, we will be able to finish the armoring of the channel. Oh it doesn’t end there but the list is a long one and we will keep chipping away at it.

April 26, 2025 Good Morning!!

Beautiful bright sunny morning here at Dale’s On Lake of the Woods!

What have we been up to since the end of Walleye Season-WELL!

We had lots of extra hands at the end of OUR season, the third week of March.

Huge Thank you to ALL who came to help moving all our fish houses to shore!

We continued to have our winter lake access open right up to the Sunday April 13th and some of

our winter camping guests fished on Monday even.

What is the lake status today, April 26th?   Lake is still covered with ice, obviously not safe ice, seeing more open areas. 

I enjoy my walk to the shoreline each day and listen to the ice making noise as it deteriorates.

We welcome you to come to our website and on our Front page, at the bottom of the page, is our webcam live view of the lake, come see the ice change to open water. 

Now let’s update you on our projects since March:

  1. Harbor channel is dug, and we are now armoring the sides of the channel
  2. We have 6 sections of docks built and with two days of rain coming this week we will have more built in no time.
  3. 24 New firepits with cooking grill built by Adamski Metal Works, Mountain Iron, MN. Son, Justin, picked the firepits up in Mountain Iron, delivered them here.  Justin and Jayden seasoned each firepit with Linseed oil and placed one in all 24 campsites. Big Job Done.
  4. Summer sitting area in front of office all set up with chairs, new cushions and new cushion covers for chairs. 
  5. Firepit ring all set up in front of Resort office.
  6. Grounds clean-up: Matt spent most of a day walking the resort grounds with garbage bag in hand picking up debris,
  7. many miles put on in one day, whew!!  Thank you, Matt!!
  8. Steve N, one of our winter camping guests, has been repairing the door frames and thresholds of all the sleeper fish houses for us.   Also, installing a new garage door this week!  Super great help! Thank you, Steve!
  9. Macey, Matt and I cleaned sleepers, which there is still more cleaning to do in the next couple weeks here.
  10. Fish locators put away for the summer!
  11. Dale and I did stop and enjoy a couple days in Ely, MN, went to the International Wolf Center, I enjoyed time at the Pebble Spa, visited some of the shops in town, played cards with our family, watched our granddaughter and her team play softball.  We enjoyed Easter here at home with a wonderful traditional Easter dinner, hid baskets, Easter egg hunt and we all enjoyed our own Corn Hole Tournament.  Jayden took first place, Matt took second place, and Lindi took third place all treated with a chocolate Easter Bunny!

Well, that is it in a nutshell for the most part, more to come!

We are excited to enjoy summer camping, swimming, boating, and fishing!

Dale and Matt are clipping right along building docks!

The guys took a day to pick up the materials needed to start building the docks for our new harbor!

We are checking the harbor area each day for conditions to get started on removing the final 50 feet of the channel.

In the meantime, “let’s build the docks!

 

Dale put in some rollers -helping with the back!!

5 Done – Many more to go!   Warms up a bit we will pressure wash the floats!

Richard, owner of Swift Electric has been here and has delivered the wire for the electrical on the docks, ordering all the electrical boxes and main power materials need, and will start getting the bending of the Conduent started.
