The drive to Gorman Chairback takes you on gated logging roads which can be difficult to pass after major rain events in early June and late October. The roads are accessed through a gate operated by a third party which closes at 9:00pm. Arrivals after that time are not permitted. RVs, ATV and motorcycles are not permitted past the gate.

Free use of our fleet of canoes and kayaks is included in your stay and can be launched off our boat slip on Long Pond. A common sandy swim area is a short walk from your cabin and a there is a swim float a short distance from shore from which you can swim and jump into the lake. If you intend to swim or boat, please bring your own beach towel.

Our staff is knowledgeable about local recreation opportunities and point you in the right direction for gravel biking adventures, hiking trips, fishing spots, ski tours and great locations to spot local flora and fauna on land and on the water. Natural history presentations are often offered on site as well.
