Things to Do at Blue Goose
I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order. —John Burroughs
Aside from disconnecting from the bustle of everyday life with a game of checkers on the back deck, roasting s’mores by the fireplace, or counting hummingbirds from the kitchen window, Blue Goose Lodge and the surrounding area offer a wealth of activities for the more (and less) adventurous. At times, the chance to undertake a new physical challenge in our supportive natural environment translates to the capacity for growth and change in everyday life.
Some activities can be booked as stand-alone excursions, while others are only available to guests of the Blue Goose Lodge. Contact us for additional information or for help in determining the best options for your family or group.
