Fishing and Paddling

Whether by canoe, kayak, paddle boat, or stand-up paddle board, there are plenty of ways to cruise around our lake or any of the many nearby waterways.

Lakes in our area are full of many delicious fish, including northern pike, blue gills, sunfish, crappies, and bass. Our barn is well-stocked with fishing poles, tackle, life jackets, and more, so just bring yourself and enough patience to finally get the big one.

Nature Photography

Fields of hay, sunflowers, pine forests, lakes, bogs, and so much more add to this idyllic environment. Get up early to catch the sunrise across the lake, and watch the morning steam drift away. Or bring your gear and catch the night sky, which offers a glimpse of millions of stars, our very own Milky Way Galaxy, or if you’re very lucky, even the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights).

Wildlife Observation

A dozen bird feeders and bird baths around the farm house present the perfect opportunity to spot the many indigenous bird species, including Ruby-throated hummingbirds, Eastern bluebirds, and the ubiquitous Red-winged blackbird. At dawn and dusk, scan the edges of the fields for deer and foxes. Check out the barn, which is home to many barn swallows, and bats in our homemade bat houses in the evening.  

Winter Wonderland

For the hearty, the farm is not just for the summer time. Once the snow falls, come for cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, ice-skating or ice-fishing on the lake, or even just relax in our wood-fire sauna. Get your hygge on.
