While the rest of Hay River largely escaped significant flooding because of spring breakup, the same cannot be said for the 2 Seasons Adventures campground.

According to co-owner Fraser Pike, the campground suffered about $500,000 in damages from flooding.

That follows about $250,000-$300,000 in flood damages suffered in August because of a combination of high wind and high water on Great Slave Lake.

Pike said about $200,000 in repairs had been made over the winter to the damages from last year.

SA国际影视传媒淎nd it basically got wiped out again,SA国际影视传媒� he said, adding the operation is back into cleanup mode.

Pike said there were even more damages from this yearSA国际影视传媒檚 floodwater and ice.

SA国际影视传媒淲eSA国际影视传媒檙e basically out of business for the season because we have to rebuild all the roads,SA国际影视传媒� he said. SA国际影视传媒淲e have to rebuild the campsites. We have to rebuild all the yurts.SA国际影视传媒�

However, Pike said there is a possibility some campsites may be open by mid-July depending on the weather, and perhaps one or two yurts may be open by August.

Over the winter, the operation had put in 25 new campsites, but they were wiped out by the latest flooding.

The campgroundSA国际影视传媒檚 dance floor had been moved further back from the lake after last yearSA国际影视传媒檚 flooding, but it was not far enough.

SA国际影视传媒淚 probably went back about 12 feet and it came up that high,SA国际影视传媒� said Pike. SA国际影视传媒淭he load of water that came through was unbelievable.SA国际影视传媒�

After last summerSA国际影视传媒檚 flooding, the yurts had been raised two feet higher, but now the plan is to raise them even higher on screw piles.

SA国际影视传媒淲eSA国际影视传媒檙e going to go up six feet,SA国际影视传媒� said Pike. SA国际影视传媒淪o theySA国际影视传媒檒l look like little tiki huts out of Bora Bora.SA国际影视传媒�

The operator said the floors and fabrics of the yurts will have to be replaced, along with the furniture.

The campgroundSA国际影视传媒檚 roads were also severely damaged.

SA国际影视传媒淲e re-gravelled everything there and we lost all that again,SA国际影视传媒� said Pike. SA国际影视传媒淪o weSA国际影视传媒檙e starting to haul gravel again now and trying to start cleanup again.SA国际影视传媒�

The ownersSA国际影视传媒� house at Two Seasons Adventures escaped damage, since it is six feet high on screw piles.

However, a nearby building used for event staging was surrounded by floodwater.

SA国际影视传媒淭he one beside my house was pretty damaged,SA国际影视传媒� said Pike. SA国际影视传媒淲ater got right into that.SA国际影视传媒�

The co-owner said the property will SA国际影视传媒渄efinitelySA国际影视传媒� be rebuilt.

SA国际影视传媒淚tSA国际影视传媒檚 just too good of a product,SA国际影视传媒� he said. SA国际影视传媒淧eople just love it. And weSA国际影视传媒檙e learning more and more about how we should deal with flooding.SA国际影视传媒�

The campground is on the mainland, not on Vale Island, and about a mile from the West Channel of the Hay River.

Glenn Smith, the senior administrative officer with the Town of Hay River, said there was flooding which damaged sections of the unpaved public road in the area.

SA国际影视传媒淎t some point it made it impassable and certainly washed out parts of the road,SA国际影视传媒� said Smith. SA国际影视传媒淪o weSA国际影视传媒檒l have to do some cleanup work on that road.SA国际影视传媒�
