Monday evening at Round Lake.

A local horseback rider passing by.
All this peaceful recreation set against a backdrop of billowing smoke on the horizon, from the raging Nadina wildfire, now at over 25,000 hectares.
10 hearty volunteers posted 50 hours of labor, improving the grounds of Round Lake Hall. Clean windows, re-installed pathway, renovated fireplace, mowed lawns, hillside and beach and a new perennial garden. It looks grand…come on out and enjoy it!

Along the Bulkley River Rec Site Trails is a mystery! A stash of peanuts, unopened, sits at the base of a conifer tree, whose lower branches have been removed! Any ideas?
Winter walks offer great opportunities to get outside, and these can be even more fun if you’re looking for geo-caches. The Bulkley River Rec Site has at least 9 (and more can be added at any time), including one that resembles a little bird house, hanging discreetly on a conifer tree.
Billed as the World’s Largest Treasure Hunt, there are over 2 million caches around the world, from easy to access, to challenging.
Virginia enjoys looking for caches and recording her success in the small log book in the cache; she also records her find electronically, on the global geo-cache website.

Over 50 came to Round Lake on Saturday, June 18, to paddle in the lake, share a sumptuous dinner together and then spend the sweet summer evening enjoying the sounds of music, as the children played in the water or paddled nearby. Loons called, eagles and osprey soared overhead as the moon rose over the hills, casting its buttery image on the water.

Between canoeing, sharing potluck and listening to fine music on the lakeshore, about 40 Bulkley Valley folk (and Mark and Diane, from Alberta) celebrated Round Lake Community Association’s 3rd Annual Summer Solstice Paddle, Potluck and Sing-along on June 21, the ‘longest’ day of the year.

Thanks to the Middleton Wakefield gang for choosing Round Lake Hall for their reunion this summer! The weather was wonderful and the hall and grounds were just right for them.
My friend and I had a lovely time exploring the recreation site. Found several of the geocaches, saw warblers and other birds and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Can’t wait to come back and explore the river trail. Thanks for all the great work. Cindy Verbeek, Houston
We have had a couple of weekends open up for bookings at Round Lake Hall over the summer. By clicking on the calendar on the main website, you can check which ones they are. We think it is a pretty perfect venue for a family weekend get together or a get away from your business place for an employee gathering. Call me (250 846 5296) with any questions!
Warm, sunny day with snow packed sufficiently that only boots were required. Walked most of the trails, then lit a bonfire at the picnic site along the river. Delicious, hearty, healthy shared food around the picnic table. A lovely way to spend a late winter day.
Just a heads up to potential bookers of Round Lake Hall. Prime weekends are going fast for 2014! There are 3 weekends in July 2014 still available and only 1 weekend left in August. I am thinking we should start having weddings on other days of the week like they do in Holland! In any case, if you are thinking of booking with RLCA next summer, please get in touch with me so we can get the paper work done! Judy at 250-846-5296 or 250 877 1422 vdmroundlk@bulkley.net
Five volunteers spent Saturday afternoon at the Rec Site, mowing trails and campsites. If you are able to help out for a few hours, all those who use the trails will benefit.

Over the years, RLCA has hosted many coffee houses and kudos to Eric Anderson and Zita Conway who got us started on this journey. The latest coffee house at Round Lake Hall with Back Road Home and Juanita McIntyre played to an audience of more than 70 people! What a delight to listen to wonderful music and introduce our hall to many first time visitors. Our next coffee house is on Saturday March 9th with Gary and Cor van der Meulen and a host of other talented musicians who will be playing in the open mike slot. This proves to be another of those unforgettable Round Lake musical events!
