Amongst the variety of activities offered at the Mountain View Grand, axe throwing is one of the most popular. The Dodge family, the founders of the resort, had owned a lumber mill and were heavily involved in the logging enterprise, which was a large part of Whitefield’s industry in the 1830’s. Axe throwing helps guests stay connected with that part of the Mountain View Grand’s history, while providing a unique and thrilling experience.
Join our fun and friendly axe throwing competition! This daily resort activity starts at 10:00 a.m. at the Axe Throwing arena.
