Meany Lodge

Visitors to Meany

The summer is over; the work parties completed.  The Mach tow has new drive and idler pulleys; the Worm tow a new rope.  The Lodge is clean from top to bottom, and a new wood stove spreads its warmth and  flickering firelight into the Lodge.  The Tomcat and snowmobiles are in position and ready.  All lie in wait for the winter snows to blanket Meany.

Registrations for Holiday week Dec 27 to Jan 1 are open, as are a kids winter camp Jan 2 - Jan 5, and winter weekends for the 2019 season.  Seasons Passes are available for purchase (see link below).
