"Thank you so much for the fun times! I had so much fun working with the horses and on the overnight trail ride. I formed bonds with many of the horses, especially Ricky, and I can't believe it's over!"

On the waterfront . . . . Dark Lake's cool, clear waters are irresistible in the summer heat and campers can often be found hanging out on Tamarack's docks, frolicking in the water, paddling a canoe around the lake, or working on their strokes. For the brave, Spearmint log across the lake beckons on sunny day. . . . .
