The walk isn’t difficult, but you will need to pull your baggage cart. We provide two carts or toboggans. You will need them both as putting everything in one will usually be too heavy. You will transport your luggage, food, wood and water along with other gear to your treehouse.
The trails to your treehouse are in the forest but are wide and maintained. Please note there are hills and a few steep spots along the way. The walk to Lakeside East is easier than to Lakeside West. Winter weather conditions may make the walk longer.
The closest treehouses to the parking lot are #3, #5 (The Bee), #7, #9 (The Yurt) and #10
