Pine Point Report – August 23, 2026

Water temp today was 67.5°F with a light wind blowing south.

The water definitely looks like it has more suspended solids in it. If I had to guess, I’d say it’s likely ash from the fire.

I headed out for a dinnertime fish today. The first spot was slow, producing one northern and a couple of under-slot walleyes.

I then moved behind Mountain Island and tried a small reef that comes up to about 15 feet from 30 feet. That was the right move. I boated about a dozen walleyes and kept a nice limit for some snacks.

The best presentation was 3/4 of a crawler on a drop shot. I tried using half a crawler but definitely had less success.

PPR Tip of the Day:
“Experiment with bait size. Sometimes it makes a difference.”

Pine Point Report August 12, 2026. The access restriction has been lifted but the power is still off and the landfill is still closed. We will be opening our gate to seasonal site holders and campground clientele SATURDAY morning. Please understand you need to take your garbage home with you until the landfill opens.
Hydro should have the power on later today if all goes well. “Don’t Push”, seriously don’t.

Pine Point Report – August 5, 2026

We are still unable to access Pine Point Resort due to the current Implementation Order.

There are still active fires in the area, and the fire crews continue to work tirelessly. We appreciate everything they are doing to bring this situation to an end.

Unfortunately, this is completely out of our hands. I know everyone is anxious for updates, but I simply don’t have any new information. I also don’t own a working crystal ball, so I honestly have no idea when the restrictions will be lifted.

Please know that we will reopen as soon as we are permitted to do so. The moment we have confirmed access, we’ll let everyone know.

Until then, as the old owner, Al, always used to say:

“Don’t Push.”

Thank you all for your patience, understanding, and continued support. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back to the lake.

Pine Point Report July 27, 2026.
We remain closed under the current emergency order.

Hydro crews continue working throughout the area, removing the countless fire-damaged trees that could pose a danger now and in the future. At the same time, wildfire crews are still on site, continuing the important work of securing the area. While tremendous progress has been made, there is still a significant amount of work ahead.

As soon as the road reopens, we will contact all of our clients. Please understand that reopening the road is only one step in the process. Several other pieces must also be in place before we can safely welcome everyone back to Pine Point Resort.

We know this has been a difficult and frustrating time for everyone, and we sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding. Right now, patience is the best approach as the recovery continues.

The good news is that things are getting better every day, and we are moving closer to welcoming everyone back to beautiful Lac des Mille Lacs.

Thank you for your continued support.

Pine Point Report July 22, 2027. The road is still closed and so are we. The access is still blocked and rightly so as it allows fire crews, hydro and the road to be cleared. Nothing we can do can change what has already happened. It is how we deal with the aftermath that matters now. Mistakes will happen, be kind and let the chips fall. We will be open as soon as we can.

Please stay home as we are closed until this is order is removed. The fine is $880 for being on the road or lake. I will be looking into a permit on Monday and see what that entails. Order IO- 2026-009-TBI05

All travel and use of the listed roads as outlined in the identified area on the attached Implementation Order map within the Emergency Area Order (EAO) is prohibited unless authorized by a permit to engage in specified activities issued by the Thunder Bay-Ignace District of the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR).

Pine Point Report July 17, 2026. There is still a small fire south of the Panache Corner. Reality Check for everyone including myself. While Pine Point is still in good shape the rest of the area is heartbreaking to see. Hydro poles burnt to the ground, properties burnt to the ground, and a forest that was once green is now charcoal and ash. The road is still closed and rightly so as it is covered with debris. We will be closed until the road is fully opened, hydro one, bell and the MNR have completed their parts. As for everyone who is at the Point, email me if you need to. Call forwarding to a cell is in the works. All of your stuff is good right now. We all need the fires to stop, the road to fully open so repairs can start. Just hope things get better and not worse.

Pine Point Report July 15, 2026. We are still standing in this devastating event that still continues. This is a clip from my camera. Hydro is still out and likely be the case until this ends. Our hearts go out to everyone that has lost a place in this event or been displaced. Hopefully things workout. Everyone has been evacuated as the fire is still burning. Stay home while we see how things progress. We have no answers to when, so please be patient. All the best in these times.

Please Stay Home until we call.   It is not safe to be anywhere near this.

Please Stay Home until we call. It is not safe to be anywhere near this.

The following highway has been reopened, however wildfire crews may be present in the area. Motorists are urged to drive with caution and avoid non-essential travel.
✅ Highway 11 – between Highway 633 and 623

The OPP reminds the public that wildfires are dynamic and unpredictable. Fire behaviour, including the size and direction of a wildfire, can change rapidly due to weather conditions and other factors.

For your safety and the safety of emergency responders, people are strongly urged to:
• Stay away from affected areas and refrain from attending wildfire scenes to take photos or videos
• Avoid boating and standing where water bombers are actively fighting the fire so they can safely complete water drops
• Remain calm and follow all evacuation orders and emergency instructions issued by local authorities
• Avoid non-essential travel in affected areas
• Monitor official sources for the latest information and evacuation updates
• Remain away from evacuated areas until authorities have advised it is safe to return
• Help keep roadways clear so emergency personnel can carry out their work safely and effectively
• If evacuating, bring essential medications, identification, important documents, mobile devices and chargers, and any items required to support the needs of family members and pets

The OPP recognizes the significant impact evacuations and wildfires can have on individuals, families and communities. Our thoughts are with everyone affected during this challenging time, particularly those who have been forced to leave their homes and communities. The OPP remains committed to working alongside emergency management officials, Indigenous communities, municipal partners and the MNR to support evacuation efforts, protect lives and property, and help ensure the safety and well-being of residents and visitors throughout the region.

For information on the coordinated emergency response, contact the affected municipalities.

Health-related questions can be directed to the Northwestern Health Unit for the Kenora District at 1-800-830-5978, or the Thunder Bay District Health Unit at 807-625-5900.

✅ Autoroute 11 – entre les autoroutes 633 et 623

La Police provinciale de l’Ontario rappelle au public que les feux de forêt sont dynamiques et imprévisibles. Le comportement du feu, notamment son ampleur et sa direction, peut changer rapidement en raison des conditions météorologiques et d’autres facteurs.

Pour votre sécurité et celle des intervenants d’urgence, il est fortement recommandé de :
• Rester à l’écart des zones touchées et de ne pas vous présenter sur les lieux des feux de forêt pour prendre des photos ou des vidéos
• Éviter de naviguer et de vous tenir à proximité des endroits où les avions-citernes combattent activement le feu, afin qu’ils puissent effectuer leurs largages en toute sécurité
• Garder votre calme et respecter tous les ordres d’évacuation et les directives d’urgence émis par les autorités locales
• Éviter tout déplacement non essentiel dans les zones touchées
• Consulter les sources officielles pour obtenir les dernières informations et mises à jour concernant les évacuations
• Rester à l’écart des zones évacuées jusqu’à ce que les autorités indiquent qu’il est sécuritaire d’y retourner
• Contribuer à dégager les chaussées afin que le personnel d’urgence puisse effectuer son travail de manière sécuritaire et efficace
• En cas d’évacuation, emporter les médicaments essentiels, une pièce d’identité, les documents importants, les appareils mobiles et leurs chargeurs, ainsi que tout ce qui est nécessaire pour subvenir aux besoins des membres de la famille et des animaux de compagnie

La Police provinciale de l’Ontario reconnaît l’impact considérable que les évacuations et les feux de forêt peuvent avoir sur les personnes, les familles et les collectivités. Nos pensées vont à toutes les personnes touchées en cette période difficile, en particulier à celles qui ont été contraintes de quitter leur domicile et leur collectivité. La Police provinciale de l’Ontario reste déterminée à collaborer avec les responsables de la gestion des urgences, les communautés Autochtones, les partenaires municipaux et le ministère des Ressources naturelles et de la Protection civile (MNR) afin de soutenir les efforts d’évacuation, de protéger les vies et les biens, et de contribuer à assurer la sécurité et le bien-être des résidents et des visiteurs dans toute la région.

Pour obtenir des renseignements sur l’intervention d’urgence coordonnée, communiquez avec les municipalités touchées.

Les questions d’ordre sanitaire peuvent être adressées à l’Unité de santé du Nord-Ouest pour le district de Kenora au 1-800-830-5978, ou à l’Unité de santé du district de Thunder Bay au 807-625-5900.

Pour obtenir des renseignements à jour sur les fermetures de routes, consultez le site 511on.ca ou communiquez avec le Ministère des Transports au 1-800-268-4686 ou au 511on.ca. Veuillez n’appeler le 9-1-1 qu’en cas d’urgence – n’appelez pas le 9-1-1 pour obtenir des renseignements concernant les fermetures de routes. ^pia
