McInnes Creek Chapel in Northwestern Ontario Canada, a quaint little Church nestled in the pines:

McInnes Creek Chapel is approx 6 miles away from Harris Hill Resort. It still holds several events and activities every year. Hymn Sing and Supper at Christmas time; a "fall supper" or a fish fry. There is still the occasional wedding or funeral held here.

Emma Sandmoen donated about 140 acres in 1944. The Church was built around 1939, and provided services as a Grace Lutheran Church until the 1950's. For a few years after that, a Youth Minister would come to do services in the summer. As the area's population continued to dwindle, that only lasted a few years also. The local people decided to restore and do the upkeep on the church and grounds, and named it McInnes Creek CHAPEL, instead of Church. It then changed from a Lutheran Church to a non-denominational Chapel.

McInnes Creek Chapel has gravestones with incredible images engraved on them to commererate and provide a tribute to the lives of the people buried there.

Gravestone for Tony (& Lynn) Beyak at McInnes Creek Chapel/Church.

Harris Hill Resort, previously known as Windy Bay Lodge, is etched in the back of the head stone of Tony Beyak, a previous owner of this resort who passed away in April of 2002, the same month as we purchased the Lodge.

Click photo to the left to see the grave stone of Tony & Lynn Beyak's headstone depicts the loving couple on Tony's Birthday that they just shared together 8 days before his unexpected passing.

There are many other headstones and gravemarkers that represent the lives and loves of the people who are buried there.

McInnes Creek Chapel is sacred and beautiful, charming and quaint, loved and used to this day. The love and peacefulness you feel there is real.
