Activities at the Lodge We offer a variety of activities at our lodge from relaxing by the fireplace to competing in a game of horseshoes. Click on the icons below for details of the various activities.
Our fields and wooded trails are home to over 90 species of birds including the Yellow-Throated warbler, Cedar Waxwing, Rose-Breasted Grosbeak, Scarlet Tanager, as well as a Bald Eagle.
Birding can be enjoyed year-round by the beginner or experienced ornithologist. In May, we host a walk with the New River Birding Festival.
The fields by the pond and along the trail are home to over a dozen of these winged beauties. We like to hike along our mile long trail to the field at the halfway point. Here the thistles and milkweed are perfect spots for watching and photographing butterflies.
The hiking trails through the fields and woods surrounding the lodge are perfect for relaxing and wildlife viewing.
The woods and fields are home to over 40 migratory birds, butterflies, deer, wild turkey, owls, bobcat, coyote, bear and an occasional eagle in the spring. Once away from the city lights, the stars are so bright they seem close enough to touch. The Milky Way and "shooting stars" are familiar sights. Sit back on the lawn and enjoy the view of the nearby heavens.
Bring your family and friends and have fun solving a murder mystery. Our themes range from "Death by Chocolate" to class reunions or a 1920's gangster murder mystery. Characters profiles will be provided. Additional cost is required. A favorite of our guests on summer evenings is gathering around the campfire. We'll provide all of the fixins' for s'mores. For the more active sports minded guest, we offer family and friends outdoor games to fill afternoons, including badminton, horseshoes, volleyball, bocce ball, and croquet, to name a few. These outdoor games will entertain and keep you physically fit. When it's time to relax indoors, we have a large selection of board games, jigsaw puzzles, cards, and lots of coloring books for children. Our large game room includes ping pong, air hockey and a game table. Relaxing in an easy chair next to the fireplace may be just what you need. We have a small library of novels as well as magazines and books of local interests for those who enjoy reading. Copyright ©2005, Ponderosa Lodge LLC, All Rights Reserved.
