*NEW* Monthly Group Guided Hikes:
New this year, Island Lake Lodge will offer a group guided hike once a month. This is a great opportunity to explore new terrain with like-minded individuals. The hike will wrap up before the end of the day, so there will still be time for a bite or a cold drink on the Bear Bistro's patio.
