Property Activities

Set beside Acton Lake and shaded by a canopy of old-growth forest, the 27-hole “Distractions” disc golf course offers a fun and accessible outdoor experience for all skill levels. Similar to traditional golf, players aim discs at a pole-mounted basket, navigating natural obstacles and varying terrain along the way. With two tee options per hole, the course can be tailored from beginner-friendly rounds to more challenging play. Lodge guests can borrow discs from the front desk at no cost, while visitors are welcome to bring their own or purchase them onsite.

Geocaching is a grassroots scavenger hunt game that is played around the world. Believe it or not, there are probably several caches hidden near your home. You can learn more and register for free at Geocaching.com.

Other geocachers have already hidden caches inside the park. A cache can be large (5 gallon tub), regular (shoe box size), small (soda can size), or micro (very small). Normally a cache will contain little toys and trinkets that you can trade. You can also sign the log book that is found with the cache You can log your finds online after a day of geocaching.

Caches can be anywhere. Many times they are in hollow trees or logs or under rocks, and sometimes they are hanging from trees or stuck under a bush. Micro caches only have a log page and you will need your own pen.  Many micros are in old 35 mm film containers or magnetic key boxes.

Once you select a cache to find, the description will give you clues. You can also read what other people wrote.  Use your GPS unit.  Usually the cache is within 10 feet of where the GPS unit sends you.  Good luck and have fun!

The Rules of Geocaching:

• If you take something from the cache, leave something of equal or greater value.
• Write about your find in the log book.
