Seasons
Manoir Hovey offers a year-round experience, with fishing opportunities available as the seasons change on Lake Massawippi. Spring, after the ice retreats, opens the door for fishing and paddling, coinciding with the awakening of the land and the blooming of the gardens. Summer provides endless days for enjoying the lake, with opportunities for fishing and paddling from the private dock. Autumn brings crisp air and continued fishing possibilities on the lake, alongside the vibrant foliage. Winter transforms the lake into a frozen playground, offering the unique experience of ice fishing. The lodge operates throughout these seasons, ensuring anglers can experience the lake's offerings year-round.
