Our outdoor activities include kayaking and hiking — something for everyone! We believe that everyone has the most fun when they’re in the middle of nature, so come have an adventure with us.

13yo daughter and 10yo son had an amazing experience pounding on the anvil and creating blades of steel. The results were some unforgettable memories and some pretty darn cool (and sharp!) souvenirs. The owner was great with the kids and they felt they did the majority of the work themselves. Knife making ranged from $25 to $100 depending on size, and it takes about an hour. Located on top of the hill behind the green and red carriage building.
