Guests also have seasonal access to Echo Lake, a peaceful, non-motorized lake perfect for swimming and boating when a Camp Pinewood lifeguard is on duty. We offer canoes, kayaks, and rowboats—a great way to take in the beauty of the lake. If interested in waterfront or other activities, please contact host.
