10 years for Narrows West Lodge

Donna Northam - Tuesday, January 24, 2012

This year is the 10 year anniversary of the new Narrows West Lodge being built, and we are going to do our best to celebrate in style.  We have just finished freshening up the bar with some new paint, and stain, and have put the shuffle board back in.  It reminds me of how it looked 10 years ago when we first opened it.

The kitchen is undergoing some reno's so that is why the dining room has been closed, in order to upgrade things in the kitchen and also give the menu a new look.  We want to celebrate the 10th year of the building being up in grand fashion this year and are going to try to have something going on every weekend.

I have been looking back at some of the history for that area, and am amazed at how far back some of the pictures and history go.  All the way from the building of the bridge and the much larger ferries, and boats that used to run up and down that lake.  If you take a walk around the lodge you will see some of the older pictures that show the boats, and building of the bridge. 

We are going to do our best to make the 10th anniversary of the new building a year to remember with endless events that will be happening out at the Narrows West Lodge.  We will be kicking things off of course with the superbowl weekend coming up on Feb 5 as the Patriots take on the the Giants in a battle for supremacy in the NFL.

The longer I work for Narrows West the more of a vast history I uncover, and hear great stories of great grandparents and families that have lived their entire lives on Lake Manitoba, and in the area of Narrows West Lodge. Every time I make a trip to the lodge I always manage to come home with a different story of interest.  I never get tired of the trips to the lodge and the peacefulness that surrounds that area, and I look forward to moving my family their and making a life at the Narrows.

If you are ever passing through the area stop in and check out the restaurant and the ambiance that goes with the place.  I would be surprised if you can't find at least one person who can tell you little bit about the history of the place.
