There are several quiet spaces at the RiverHaus where you can step out and take a break, lay in a hammock, sit by a fire, or curl up with a good book.

KAYAKING:
KAYAKING:
There are (6) kayaks and we can borrow up to (5) more from the neighbors. We put in right off the RiverHaus dock and take a 1 1/2 to 3-hour float down the Snake River depending on the time of year. The Snake River ranges from 2 - 15 feet deep but is mostly sandy and shallow. We have a trailer and a five-minute drive to pick up the kayaks at the journey's end. Check out the HARBOR tab for more info including a river map and wildlife.

SWIMMING:
SWIMMING:
Off the end of our dock is a sandy bottom and about 5' of water in the summertime. There is a slow current if you pick up your feet you float downstream but can easily stand up. The water is clear in June but slows down and has some green in August. We can also take the pontoon to the sand beach in Pine City or the middle of Pokegama Lake where you can dive in at 45' deep.
