Swim. Play. Eat. Explore. Relax.
Swim
Big Bend Lodge sits along a half-mile of riverfront and four year-round swimming holes. We provide inner tubes at our main beach. The current is mostly imperceptible in the summer and great shallow entry and play area for younger kids.
Play
If you’re feeling sporty we have lots of old-school classics like ping pong, volleyball, badminton, horseshoes, and basketball.
Eat
Kitchens in every cabin, bbq grills on every porch, a communal outdoor prep area (with large bbq and sink), and a plethora of picnic tables are the foundation of an amazing history of meals that have been eaten at the lodge.
Explore
If you’re feeling adventurous there are several great adventures in the area including
Drive Through Tree
Confusion Hill
Peg House (+ short 1 mile loop through the redwoods)
Richardson Grove
And if you’d rather not get in your car and leave the property (honestly, it’s a lot of effort), there’s a great hike up Low Gap creek that is cool in the summer and is loaded with ferns and redwoods and the like.
Relax
Most importantly, take time to unwind. Lounge in the hammock, take a nap in a private nook along the river, read a book in an Adirondack under an oak tree… Enjoy having nowhere to go and nothing you have to do.
