The sun warms our shallow, hard-bottom swimming area from sunrise to late evening so that even in early summer, the water is warm and inviting.  Going out 50 yards or so, the water is no more than waist-deep  providing excellent opportunities for little ones to play and splash and big ones to compete over our water volleyball court.  Kids enjoy building sand castles and parents relax on lounge chairs on our sunning decks. Teens gather on the swim raft which is in 15-20' of water.
 

A number of gardens adorn the grounds of Thunder Lake Lodge. Against backdrops of the lake and the tall pines that surround our cottages, the mix of perennials and annuals give a plentiful splash of color. 

The Lodge is a place to gather or get away from it all. On the lower level are  the sauna, exercise equipment and pool table. We also have an extensive supply of games and athletic equipment that can be checked out. On the upper level you can read the paper or a magazine, watch a video, refresh yourself with ice cream or a candy bar, or get that souvenir from our store. The spiral tree-trunk staircase is a must-see feature of the Lodge. Right across the drive from the Lodge is the 'Loony Bin' where anyone can play pinball or video games. You will also find our laundry in the 'Loony Bin'.
 

 Sunrises are spectacular over Thunder Lake! Even if you are not a morning person, we encourage you to pick a day to get up early and enjoy the peaceful serenity of a Thunder Lake morning! You won't regret it. As evening falls, the lake darkens and the hills that surround the lake light up with a golden glow.  At night, step out on the docks and look up at the sky. Wow
 

We have a regulation volleyball court with plenty of soft sand. This is a great place for a gathering of your family and friends, for an all-resort competition, or for just a few of our guests to get out and practice their 'digs' and 'kills'.
