Meany Lodge
Visitors to Meany
During the summer, Meany offers a range of activities including biking, hiking, mushroom hunting and the opportunity to learn all sorts of skills during work parties to prepare the lodge for next winter's snow. Come learn to splice ropes, maintain tracked vehicles, weld, split wood, do plumbing or carpentry, maintain trails, and more! This summer we're focusing on splicing tow ropes and forestry stewardship to make the forests more resistant to fire and continue their long process towards old-growth. To register for work parties, see the Meany Lodge calendar or these links: Sept 7-8; Sept 21-22; Oct 5-6; Oct 19-20; Nov 2-3.
Come Dec 27th, 2024, Meany will be open for winter sports, play, and skiing again!
