It is the ultimate spot for angling and fly fishing. Hook into species such as brook trout, small mouth bass, pickerel, and even salmon.

Nature - Take the opportunity to explore the surrounding woods/waters. With the lodge sitting on a private 100-acre property, there is much to explore without even leaving the grounds.
