From Pot Lucks and card games to Costume and Holiday parties, folks staying at the Bluffs love the opportunity to gather at the Clubhouse to mingle and meet other seasonals. Get involved with the activities crew, join the group during sit n’ stitch, create a mii and participate in wii bowling at the clubhouse or wind down with our wine and cheese evenings – the opportunities are endless.
Named for a Shawtown resident of the late 1800’s who tended sheep in the meadows near the top, Mary’s mountain is a ¾ mile hike up a moderately steep trail. The hike one way can take between 20 and 30 minutes, and rewards you with 2 rocky outlooks offering sweeping views of Ossipee Lake and the surrounding mountains, as well as Danforth Bay and the campground. It is well worth the effort. The trailhead can be found in the corner of our upper RV storage lot.
The activities department leads frequent trips up this trail. Check the weekly activities schedule for times or stop by The Depot for a trail map.
A quick paddle around the corner will lead you to Huckins Pond, a stunningly beautiful natural area with beaver, waterfowl, wildflowers, an abundance of songbirds and other wildlife. Complimentary use of the canoes and kayaks located at the Bluffs launch is offered to guests staying at the Bluffs.
Danforth Bay also offers access to Ossipee Lake, one of the most popular lakes in our region, excellent for waterskiing, tubing and pleasure-boating.
