Come find us
by the lake.

We’re on the beach at Pioneer Bay, inside Clearwater Lake Provincial Park. By car it’s about 25 minutes from The Pas. By bike or boat, even better.

On the bulletin board

This week,
roughly.

What we’re serving, what the lake’s doing, and what’s happening on the grass out front.

This week's flavour

Wild blueberry

Hand-picked a few weeks back and folded into the weekly special hard ice cream. Until we run out.

Weather outlook

22°C & clear through Friday

Light northerly wind Thursday afternoon could pick up — paddleboards might want to stay in the bay that day.

Warmer than last week. Cold at first, perfect after fifteen seconds. Visibility about 35 feet today.
