Welcome to Little Gull Marina!

Just a quick update for those who are thinking of venturing up over the weekend. The roads are getting soft and are icy in spots, and despite the warmer sun, there is still a lot of snow in the bush and in areas that haven’t been cleared. If your lane wasn’t plowed over the winter you will likely need snowshoes or skis to get in. We still see people travelling by atv on the ice, but again if you are not 100% sure of the currents and areas to stay away from, it’s probably not a good idea to venture out now. The ice isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, but the conditions are changing daily.

We re-open on Monday, and for the month of April are open Monday-Saturday from 9am-4pm, and closed on Good Friday.
More exciting news and updates to come next week! Stay tuned and have a great weekend!

Welcome to Spring, and welcome home Leah! Although the sun is warm its still a bit chilly out there.

We are busy busy here getting ready for whenever the spring weather truly arrives, and the boat launch begins. Although right now that boat launch is still a fair ways out based on how much ice is still on the lakes. We’ve been told that the small back lakes have almost 40″ of ice on them, and some of the larger lakes somewhere between 20 and 30 inches so there’s still a long way to go before we see open water. That being said, please be careful if you venture out as there are lots of areas, particularly near shore, with running water that are starting to get soft or open up.

As we start to think about spring and the boat launch, please remember that we require at least 2 weeks notice to get your boat out of storage and ready to rock for another season, longer if there are repairs to do or work you’d like done. You can email Michelle (michelle@littlegullmarina.ca) and she will take care of getting your toys in the queue for spring launch.

Enjoy the sunshine and have a great week!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

We’ve got a lot of water up here now, most between Thursday and Friday. In some spots on Mississagua the pooling on top of the ice was over a foot deep so caution to snowmobilers your machines may not like the water very much, nor will the lack of snow be friendly to your sliders. We have seen this water freeze over between yesterday and today’s cold temperatures, but it is still possible to break through the top layer and feel some water before you hit the solid, thick ice underneath. Some areas might be great for skating!

Most of the snowmobile trails around us are yellow now (limited availability) probably due to water and ice, with some north of the park green if you want to get a last ride or two in for the season. It sure has been a great one this year!

Enjoy the sunshine!
