  Natural History

 

Spring Buffalo
  • Wild Blackberries are ripening.  We have several large patches and they have been tasting so good...watch out for the thorns...ouch! 
  • The heat and dry weather have certainly supplied a lot of insects for bobwhite quail.
  • Whitetail Deer and Elk, bucks and bulls antlers look so great in velvet.    
  • Those antlers are growing rapidly right now, up to an inch a day in July.  It all has to do with genetics, age, and nutrition...not necessarily in that order. 
  • The spotted whitetail fawns are visible with their Moms now as are our elk calves. 
  • Our buffalo calves are grazing now, along with nursing and starting to push horns.  They are about 2 inches long now.
  • The shade feels pretty good these days.  Know why?  It can be 30 to 50 degrees cooler there.  50 degrees cooler usually takes place in lower areas deeper in the forests. 
  • Lizards and Skinks are easy to find on rocks in the Cedar Glades.  

  New Lodge

Under Construction 

 

Lodge Concrete Pad

 

We have a new lodge under construction where we'll be able to handle even larger outdoor clubs, family reunions, corporate getaways and weddings. This building will be 40 X 80 feet with an additional 12 X 80 foot covered porch that overlooks our 40 acre lake, and will house large rustic tables, a bar, pool tables, and other indoor recreational activities. The pad and porch as been poured and the rough-in construction will start August 1st.  We're looking forward to its completion this summer so we can better serve you.

 

As always, we have cabins for your overnight comfort and a lodge that makes you feel right at home.  These are great places for your family or business outing. Our home-style meals and catering add an extra..ahhh...and...mmm to your adventure. Feel free to contact us with any questions you might have about Timber Hills Lake.

 

 We'd love you to schedule an adventure with us!

Greetings! 

Summertime is sizzling with outdoor adventures at Timber Hills Lake. Our new sandy beach area, right in front of our cabins, is open, and the inviting water is the cool place to be. Whether you're wading, swimming, jumping off the dock, sunbathing, or building a truly great sand castle it is pure summertime fun. If you're interested in more fun, we have several kayaks you can use to explore our lakes or fish from. Where there is adventure, competition is not far behind, and kayak races add a whole new dimension to your stay at Timber Hills Lake. How good are you? All challenges accepted. Come on out and give it a try.
