What To Pack

DON'T FORGET TO BRING . . . . .

• bath towels & body soap (most cabins have hair dryers)
• kitchen towels and scouring pads (dish soap, scrubbie and pot holders provided)
• paper towels, freezer bags, tin foil, cooking spray, trash bags (salt & pepper provided)
• FOOD (don't worry if you forget anything, we're located 8 miles from a grocery store with full bakery and deli - plus we sell gourmet pizza and snacks in the lodge. )
• flashlights and extra batteries -- it's dark up north!
• bug repellent
• long sleeve tees and hat/cap (reflections off the lake catch many unaware - you don't wanna be burned on vacation!  Even swimming, consider wearing an old long sleeve or rash guard top to prevent burns. Note: some sunscreens can be harmful to aquatic ecosystems, we recommend doing your research.)
• if you want to save on packing space in your car, rent one of our TV/VCR combos for $5 day, $25 week. There is a complimentary 100 family videotape library at lodge. (No t.v. channel reception, use for movies and games only)
• laptop computer (for checking e-mails if you must while on vacation - FREE wireless internet provided)
• Check the weather forecast for clothing choices

Extra tips from current guests on what else to bring:

• charcoal & lighter fluid
• matches, marshmallow sticks, pie irons and stuff for s'mores and campfire snacks
• cooler for beverages on the ride up (and for fish fillets on the way home?)
• swimsuits, snorkels, floating toys, beach chairs, LIFE JACKETS
• rolls of quarters (arcade games, pool, jukebox, carousel, Maytag coin-op washers/dryers)
• liquid detergent for laundry washing at the lodge
• camera (extra batteries)
• binoculars (there are tons of critters you'll want to watch)
• peanuts or seeds to feed the chipmunks out of your hands
• bicycles or roller blades (the paved trail is a mile away!)
