Name a more iconic duo... we’ll wait.

A massive congratulations to Eric Nilsson, the official winner of our Tim Ber Bay Plunge contest! 🏆

Out of all the entries, Eric guessed the closest time to when Tim finally took his legendary plunge through the ice on Birch Lake.

It looks like these two are basically best friends now. Enjoy the well-deserved bragging rights, Eric! 🎉

Brrr… but totally worth it! 🥶☀️

The water at Birch Lake might be freezing right now, but our spirits are sky-high! We officially braved the chill and got the piers in for the season. We’re working hard to get everything perfectly prepped because we absolutely can’t wait to welcome our guests back for the fishing opener in May.

Who else is counting down the days? Let us know what you’re hoping to catch this year in the comments! 🎣🐟

Exactly a year ago we took ownership of Timber Bay, what a journey it has been! Thank you to all of our new friends - our loyal guests, our incredible TB team, our supportive vendors and partners, and of course, our loving family’s. ❤️

Here’s to honoring the history of this beautiful place while making a whole lot of new memories for generations to come.
