Season After Season

There is something for everyone! Here are just a few of the numerous activities throughout the seasons:

Summer Activities

Hiking

Reward your body and soul with a hike of any level. When you reach your summit, the view will be well worth the work. Numerous trails designed to suit all skill levels await.

Rafting

Take the family on a tame whitewater rafting trip down the Androscoggin River, Magalloway River or Pontook Dam. Choose from a variety of  levels with the professional guides of Raft NH or Northwoods Rafting.

Rolling Dog Sledding

Just because the snow has melted doesn't mean you still can't enjoy the amazing experience of riding through the mountainside with a team of dogs speeding you along. All the while, you'll enjoy the beautiful scenery. The best part? Your "musher" will teach you how to interact with the dog team of Alaskan Huskies, Siberians and Malamutes.

Fly Fishing

Put your waders on and cast out into the water. Few experiences are as relaxing, contemplative and rewarding as the practiced art of fly fishing. This is certainly a wonderful way to spend an afternoon in the warmer months.

Santa's Village

Just moments from our resort, Santa's Village features fun rides and shows complete with Santa, his sleigh, his reindeer and all kinds of Christmas-themed activities. And guess what? Santa's Village is open all year long.

Silly Soccer

Silly Soccer allows guests to tickle, grab, and hug your opponent to make them laugh and miss the goal. Sometimes we even kick the ball into our own net and score. We even roll around the grass, kick our legs up, and act silly for silly soccer.

Family Volleyball

This is a fun family activity located at the sand square. We provide the ball, guests provide the team and the fun! This is a great way for those staying with us to meet other guests.

Ice Skating

Few things in life maintain nostalgic magic the way ice-skating does. Dance. Twirl. Spin. Fall. It's all part of the fun. Hold your younger kid's hand and step slowly. Let your older kids loose. Set yourself free and enjoy the cold wind as you swiftly skate circles around your family.
