Glorious colors and the aroma of crisp clean air always turns thoughts to fall at Trout Lodge. If your family loves everything about this beautiful time of year, now is your time to stay with us! Along with our other fall themed activities during the week, it’s our GREAT PUMPKIN JAMBOREE that steals the show both Saturdays. Imagine snuggling beside your family on a hayride that will take you to a field of orange where you can pick your pumpkin. Then ride back to enjoy carving your pumpkin, taste dutch oven cooking, play fun fall games and more as you and your family celebrate autumn with us. It’s time to slow down and enjoy your time together as a family, and our country days are perfect for reconnecting and creating those treasured memories.

Brightly colored leaves fluttering in the crisp autumn air will surround you as you reconnect as a family to celebrate the fall season in grand jamboree fashion by joining us for an afternoon of pumpkin carving, tasty treats, music, crafts, square-dancing, a pie-eating contest, carnival games, Dutch oven cooking and games. With the colors of fall all around us, it’s the perfect time to celebrate with family and friends. Download the registration form for pricing information. May include a buffet meal if you wish.

It’s a haunting of the family-friendly kind. During the week enjoy all of our activities. But during the weekend, you should watch each other’s back as you wander through Trout Lodge & Camp Lakewood – zombies and witches, ghosts and goblins abound everywhere. Hop on our Haunted Wagon Ride as we wind through the deep dark woods and hold on as creatures of the night rise up and wreak havoc. For the little ones, we also offer pumpkin carving, a Monster Mash Carnival and trick-or-treating, so remember to bring your best costume. Trout Lodge has a truly spook-tacular time in store for your family – and we will be waiting for you …

Horses are amazing creatures, and your family can get an up close and personal view of our trusty steeds. Upon your arrival, you will receive an “Adopt-A-Horse” card with a picture of “your” horse, along with specific information about the horse. Then you will take that card to the Ranch and meet your horse face to muzzle. While you’re there, make sure to learn roping, branding and taste dutch oven cooking over an open fire. For those budding artists, you’ll even get to paint a horse and take pictures to bring home as a reminder of the time you and your family spent at the Triangle Y Ranch. Join in on a horseshoe tournament and taste victory! What a great way to remember everything you love about your family as you spend time doing all of the fun things that Trout Lodge has to offer. (Other ranch activities are optionally available.)

Thanksgiving – the ultimate family celebration. It’s when we are thankful for all of the good things, and loved ones, we have in our life. When you make Trout Lodge your family tradition, you’ll experience awesome year round activities that will keep your whole family busy for days. Then on Thanksgiving Day, enjoy a wonderful family-style meal – with a turkey and all of the trimmings at every table. With no cooking or cleaning, you have more time to just enjoy time spent together. Afterwards while other families are at home snoozing on the couch, your family will be zip lining or taking a horseback ride or visiting our Arts & Crafts center (extra fee activities).
