During the summer season join a world class running or sculling camp. Rent a Fisher mountain bike and ride our trails or take a leisurely tour on the country roads surrounding the Center. Enjoy our summer trails by foot on your own or as part of a guided nature hike. Or get together a game of tennis, volleyball or basketball. Afterwards, relax lakeside. Go for a swim or paddle one of our kayaks or canoes.
In the winter, experience our renowned snow conditions, often described as "the best in the east." We offer cross-country ski rentals or bring your own to explore our 85 kilometers of ski trails groomed for classical and skate style skiing. Snowshoeing is a great way to spot animals or their tracks as you travel at a more relaxed pace. You can rent hi-tech lightweight snowshoes at our touring center. Take advantage of our expanded skating pond located next to our touring center where you can find hot chocolate and a warm fire.
