This is my beloved family retreat and I trust that you will treat it as such. My biggest rule is NO SMOKING OF ANY KIND. GIVEN OUR PROXIMITY TO THE LAKE IF THERE WERE TO BE A FIRE WE WOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO REBUILD. Our land is a peninsula so your dogs can run and explore with the natural boundary of the lake. My advice for the best visit would be to park at the top of the road in the grassy area, walk down the road. Veer left at the annex for a quick extra exploration then retrace your steps, keeping the water (cove) to your right. Follow the driveway all the way down and you will reach the camps where your pup(s) can swim at the beach, then hike back up. Wear good sturdy shoes - the road is rocky and at times wet and muddy. THE HOUSES INCLUDING PORCHES and DOCKS are OFF LIMITS ABSOLUTELY NO CAMPFIRES. The area that can be used for swimming is immediately adjacent to the end of the driveway on the right down a small slope. It has a wonderful view down the lake. Please do not venture any farther on to the property towards the camps. During the summer season there are chairs at the beach (THEY ARE PUT AWAY IN OFF SEASON) so that you can sit and relax and play with your dogs while at the beach. Please feel free to throw sticks and to bring food and hang out. All trash should go in metal can where dog poop goes. Please try to limit trash as we have to call someone to pick up our trash (we do not have routine trash service). IN OFF SEASON PLEASE CARRY OUT ALL TRASH. If in season and water turned on, feel free to use the hose attached to the side of the outdoor shower on the little camp (first camp at end of driveway opposite little beach). We have wildlife. Our precious loons make frequent appearances. Do not let your dogs swim or chase these birds. I have two hunting dogs and they want nothing more than to kill these birds - I get it! THE LAKE IS LOWERED FOR ABOUT 6-8 weeks in the fall and is a great time to walk around the lake and explore :) Swimming and wading is still possible! AFTER OCT 1 there will be no trash bags, pooper scooper or poop bags as things are put away for winter. AND AGAIN NO SMOKING OF ANY KIND PLEASE I hope you enjoy the spot! Please reach out with any questions or concerns.
