🏔 Saturday – Borestone Mountain Hike & Kayaking

We start the day with a hike to Borestone Mountain, a 3.7-mile loop with rewarding panoramic views at the summit.

  • The first half of the trail winds through a peaceful forest with a moderate incline.

  • As we reach the summit, metal rungs and rocky ledges add a fun challenge to the climb.

  • The breathtaking views from the top make every step worth it!

Once back at camp, it’s time to relax, refuel, and hit the water!

  • Enjoy a refreshing paddle on Whetstone Pond, with kayaks and instruction provided.

  • Prefer to stay on land? Stretch out on the dock, soak up the sun, or simply enjoy the peaceful scenery.

​

🧘‍♀️ Sunday – Morning Yoga & Waterfall Exploration

We’ll start the morning with a gentle yoga session, the perfect way to stretch and refresh after Saturday’s adventures.

Then, we’ll take a short drive to Tobey Falls, an easy 0.6-mile out-and-back trail leading to a spectacular waterfall.

  • Tobey Falls is a unique slide waterfall, where crystal-clear water rushes down an 8-foot rock face at a dramatic 45-degree angle.

  • Take in the beauty of three cascading falls, swirling potholes, and a deep plunge pool below.

  • We’ll enjoy a picnic lunch near the falls before heading back home, feeling recharged and inspired.
