The pavilion at dusk — open under the pines, string lights tree to tree, the tables set.

What it is

The pavilion is open ground under the pines — long tables, string lights strung from tree to tree, the lawn beside it, and nothing over any of it but the branches. Beside it stands a large covered side patio with a fish-cleaning station: bring the day's catch up from the river and clean it here. Three ways to cook: a Blackstone flat-top, a Traeger pellet grill, and an open grill spot, with a fire pit for after. Power, water and lighting are in; the restrooms are out back; the general store is next door for ice, firewood and whatever you forgot.

It is open to anyone staying or visiting who wants a place to sit and eat — a riverside site's dinner, a snack off the porch, a fisherman's lunch. Nobody has to ask.

The covered side patio — the grills and the firewood under its roof, the bunting up for the Fourth.

What happens here

This is where the resort gathers. The Fourth of July — the weigh-in, the bands, the barbecue and the smoked fish — fills the tables, and Phil hosts community dinners and events through the year; the calendar carries the ones with dates. The carved Since 1920 slab stands beside the pavilion.

Weddings and private events

The pavilion, the patio and the lit lawn take dinners and events of fifty or more — the exact occupancy for what you have in mind is available on request. It is available for weddings and private events; call (530) 694-2229 to talk through dates, the cabins and sites for your guests, and what you would want set up.
