Next Door to Wildlife
You may have to be an early riser. If you walk along roads leading to the resort, you may see deer, moose, fox, bear, mink, martens, otter, beaver, squirrels, skunks, porcupines, raccoons, chipmunks, wolves, and many different species of birds. Wild animals generally avoid humans. However, they will cross your path from time to time while you’re driving or walking. Guests who are early risers have seen them in the morning walking across the beach and open spaces while others are still asleep. They’ll run as soon as they spot you. However, sometimes you’ll be lucky enough to capture them with your camera.
ON THE WATER
400 feet of Beautiful, Safe, Sandy Beach
Guests love our waterfront. We have a sandy beach with a very gentle slope into the water. Markers readily identify the shallow water area. Beyond the markers is a swimming raft. There is boat docking at the beach. Water is blue, clear and clean. There’s also a water slide and a water volleyball court.
