5/19/21- It seems that summer has finally arrived here at Sawbill. The birch and willow now have their leaves and the once patchy canopy has finally filled in. Things have picked up a bit as everyone is taking advantage of the wonderful temperatures. Rain is in the forecast for the next few days, but that hasn’t deterred eager paddlers! We’re seeing more and more friendly faces every day and are getting into the summer swing.

There have been exciting happenings at the Outfit as we continue to receive new canoes, including a few new solos! This week has also been particularly notable for crew members. One crew member spotted a Lynx on the road toward Kawishiwi Lake early Sunday morning and, on Monday night, a handful of the crew saw the Northern lights during a night paddle. Crew members have been enjoying their free time by jumping off the dock, catching sunsets on the lake, and, of course, paddling! We’ve been enjoying the start of the new season and hope you are too!
