We're getting excited to Spring forward!

As our environment is coming out of Winter, Buffalo Pound Eco Lodge is getting super excited to open our piece of heaven to share with you!

One of the amazing things about our location is that it consistently provides different natural phenomenon to experience. That includes a never ending palette of colors, and some components of the changing colors relate to flowers.  The picture associated with this blog was taken within the 13 acre property near one of the Tipis (in Spring 2024).

Some people are particularly drawn to plants, and Buffalo Pound Eco Lodge has an amazing array of natural flowering plants that excite the mind with beauty. Crocus flowers are some beauties that bloom very early in the season, but every week (and sometimes everyday) there are different flowers that spring out to greet you.  The cactus flowers are some people's favorites, and the scent of Wolf Willow can also be extremely intoxicating when their tiny little yellow flowers are in bloom.

A different natural phenomenon to look forward to in Spring is the arrival and departure of numerous species of migratory birds. Some of the birds include cranes, pelicans, swans, ducks, geese, and a plethora of song birds. The birds look incredibly beautiful when they fly over the lake, and the little song birds are quite entertaining to watch as they flutter through the trees and shrubs. Wolf willow, Buffalo berry, and various other native shrubs surround the Tipis, and are scattered throughout the park. Small birds lay claim to the shrubs and will be your closest neighbors at the lodge.

Since the lodge stretches out along the western shore of Buffalo Pound Lake, our canoes, kayaks, and paddle boards can also be used to get up close to some of the water birds like grebes, loons, cormorants, et cetera. Bird watchers may even spot Golden or Bald-Headed Eagles.

Nature lovers will feel enriched to take in this environment, and Family members who are less inclined to appreciate the peace and tranquility will have no end of adventures to keep them busy. Hiking and biking are always possible, the mini-golf course is close, and the new Buffalo Pound Provincial Park swimming pool is within a few hundred meters walk. 

Book your Tipi soon and prepare to enjoy nature, adventure, and what ever else floats your boat!
