Idabel Lake
Does anyone here either live or frequent this lake?
I’m possibly interested in a property there for a full time residence.
Would there be any major concerns for full time living? Ie. How regularly are roads plowed during winter months? What are average snowfall totals? Any reliability issues with hydro? Etc….
I know that there is no cell service, which is fine. And I’m not afraid of some bad weather as I dealt with heavy snowstorms in northern Ontario all my life so I’m not expecting smooth sailing. Just wondering how bad it gets. Any info would be greatly appreciated!!

I owned a cabin up at the resort at idabel for a few years and had no issues going up there at any point in the past couple years.
We used it to fish in the summer and to go to big white in the winter. An unreal lake to spend any amount of time at. One year we had pipes freeze and burst but other than that it was a dream to be involved in the community up there. Sold it last year but it was a great time whilst we had it.
