Fishing: You can fish from the pier at the Guest House night or day. Or better yet, bring your boat and dock at the pier in-between fishing trips or, if you really want to catch fish, hire the best of the best, we recommend: www.palmettoguideservice.com

Boating: Bring your boat where you can launch at the Waterwood Marina. The Bay Hill Guest House is two miles away by boat. Tie up at the pier. You can ski, tube or fish in view of the Bay Hill Guest House. Boat rentals are available on Lake Livingston.

Cooking and Grilling: Cook in the full size kitchen or, there are two barbeque grills available on the deck. Just bring charcoal and lighter fluid.

Restaurants: There are many restaurants within a 25 mile radius of the Guest House.

Shopping: The area closest for groceries and some small restaurants is Onalaska. It is about a 15-minute drive.

Hiking: Waterwood is host to some of the most beautiful nature walks and more are being developed all the time. Currently, there are more than 6 miles of marked trails. (Click here to view a map of The Waterwood Wildlife Trail)

Scooters & Bicycles: There is very little traffic and miles of paved roads through the woods to enjoy, so bring your bikes, skates and/or scooters.

Bird Watching: The deck of the Bay Hill Guest House provides a great opportunity for relaxed bird watching. For more serious birders, take the Waterwood Wildlife Trail. (Click here to learn more about the Waterwood Wildlife Trail)

Relaxing: Our guests consistently report this is the best part! There are few places left that are as peaceful as our area. Read a book or sit on the deck and soak up the peace and quiet. Waterwood is surrounded by 2,800 acres of protected lands with about 8 miles of protected shoreline, providing ample room for wildlife to flourish. You will likely see deer, great blue heron, cormorants, egrets and squirrels. You may even spot fox and bald eagles.
