Summer fun time at Rainy Lake Houseboats
The blueberries are ripe and sweet! You will find many in the shady areas of the islands and mainland. Berries should be available through August 5th. The hiking trail in Anderson bay has a lot of berries just off the trail.
The bald eagles have hatched their eggs. The first nest you will see is just a hundred yards past marker #19. The eaglets are learning how to fly; they are all dark brown with no white markings. It is really fun to see them grow so fast. The nests are often empty this time of the year but they return to rest and spend the nights usually until mid August.
Our loons had some nesting success. We had higher than normal waters in May and June this year, making nesting difficult. I have seen several sets of baby loons in the different areas of the park; one set is living in our bay at the houseboats.
