It’s so nice to see the boats on the dock thinning out, knowing that people are enjoying time on the lake.

Adidas backpack found at the landing by Oakview. It has been brought inside the lodge in case it rains. If you think it’s yours, send an email to [email protected] and let me know what the contents are. 😉

While the marina continues to operate as in the past, the lodge is now the permanent home to a group of 7 individuals. If you are interested in learning more, and possibly joining our coliving community, check us out at oakviewcoliving.com. We’ve got room!

Two sterndrive boats available for parts at Oakview

Complete and running 1987 Mercruiser 3.0 with power steering, all gauges, switches etc function. It was running when pulled in 2023, and sat since then. Pulled due to bellows leak. Good outdrive, prop. Starts with quickstart, carb needs a look at.

Almost complete 1986 Mercruiser 2.5. Missing some small parts (coil, neutral interrupt switch). Outdrive off boat, stored indoors.

Whole boat(s) only. Not parting out.

PM if interested. Thx

Does anybody recognize this trailer? No name on it, I suspect it arrived while Anna and I were away for a bit. I may have mixed up some messages, but don't usually park them like this LOL.

Thanks,

Greg

Not sure you’d be able to miss this floater, but it’s got to be one of the biggest I’ve seen in the last 11 years, just out from the Little Hawk landing.

Warning: Toxic Drug Supply in Haliburton County

Lakelands Public Health Noting Increase in Suspected Drug Poisonings in Haliburton

---

(April 29, 2026) – Lakelands Public Health is issuing an alert due to a high number of suspected drug poisonings related to Paramedic Service calls reported in Haliburton County. The substance of concern is suspected to be opioids. Multiple doses of Naloxone may be required.

It is important to be aware that the unregulated drug supply may be contaminated with other substances. Naloxone should be used in all suspected drug overdoses, due to the possibility of opioid contamination or poisoning. Free Naloxone Kits are available at all Lakelands Public Health offices, participating local pharmacies, and other local agencies.

Signs of an opioid overdose may include:
• very small pupils
• slow or no breathing
• cold and clammy skin
• blue or purple fingernails or lips
• snoring or gurgling sounds
• heavy sedation, difficulty being woken up

Anyone who sees a person experiencing a drug poisoning is urged to intervene. Call 9-1-1, give the person naloxone, and start rescue breathing and, or chest compressions. The Good Samaritan Act protects anyone trying to help in an emergency from possible legal repercussions. The Good Samaritan Drug Overdose Act also helps protect people on the scene of an overdose from being charged for using or possessing drugs for personal use.

Lakelands Public Health recommends the following harm reduction practices:
• Keep multiple naloxone kits on hand.
• Test a small amount of the drug before you use it.
• Use new supplies and access needle disposal bins to reduce harms associated with substance use.
• Don't use alone - Call the National Overdose Response Service (NORS), virtual safe consumption, at 1-888-668-NORS (6677) or use a buddy system and call a friend.
• Call 9-1-1 if an overdose is suspected.

Support:
• Call or text 9-8-8 Su***de Crisis Helpline, a 24/7 su***de or emotional distress hotline if needed.
• Substance use counselling and treatments are offered through:
Rapid Access Addiction Medicine (RAAM) Clinics https://www.lakelandsph.ca/classes-clinics-and-supports/harm-reduction-supplies-and-supports/ or
Four Counties Addiction Services Team (Fourcast)

No ice in sight, from Little Hawk landing. Sounds like there’s still a bit on Big Hawk.
