If you need a break from the lake, you can go bird watching, go on a hike, or craft and relax at the lodge. You can also just relax by the lake and enjoy the fall colours that paint the landscape. At nighttime, you can watch the skies from the warmth of the outdoor whirlpool or attend a campfire with a guide who will offer photography tips as you wait for the Northern Lights to appear.
