Outings & Workshops 2025

For the summer of 2025, the BNIA is offering three opportunities to explore our archipelago. There will be a for-the-fun-of-it fishing derby, an ecologist-led interpretive paddle into the south channel of the Naiscoot River, and a historical memoir workshop. All events are FREE to members but do require registration. Please refer to our social media to keep updated on these events, schedule changes and other announcements throughout the summer.

REGISTRATION: All events require registration — go HERE.


BNIA Fishing Derby

Anglers come from all over to fish our local waters, whether it’s bass, walleye, pike, muskie or even salmon. For 2025 we are hosting the first annual BNIA Fishing Derby in early July. Each participant will have their chance to prove how they landed the “big one” and claim bragging rights.


Early Inlet StoriesCANCELLED

Unfortunately, we’ve had to cancel this July 9 event because the Frost family is unable to host it this year. We’ll try again next year!


South Naiscoot Interpretive PaddleCANCELLED

Unfortunately, our scheduled interpretive paddle for August 9 has been CANCELLED because our leader James Kamstra (below) is unavailable due to a medical issue. This was a disappointment to us but we will try to reschedule him for a future summer event.
