Things To Do
On Island Activities
This is perfect for guests who want a true “summer camp for adults” experience. Grab a leisurely breakfast and coffee overlooking the lake. Swim off the dock or relax on the floating raft. Take out the complimentary kayaks, canoes, paddleboards, or hydrobikes. Play croquet, bocce, cornhole, tennis, or giant lawn games. Walk the island trails or the meditation labyrinth. Read a book in an Adirondack chair with a cocktail before getting ready.
Town of Birchwood
Explore nearby Birchwood: If guests have a car and want to get off the island for a couple of hours: Grab breakfast at the The Birchwood Cafe. Walk around downtown Birchwood’s small shops. Take a photo with the town’s famous giant Bluegill statue. Stop for Wisconsin cheese, fudge, or local souvenirs. Have lunch or a Bloody Mary before heading back.
For adventurous guests
For adventurous guests: Rent a pontoon or fishing boat on the Red Cedar Chain of Lakes. Paddle one of the nearby canoe routes. Float the Namekagon River on an inner tube (if timing allows). Hike the nearby trails through the Northwoods. Golf at Tagalong Golf Resort overlooking the lake.
