There is a turn around where you can park and hike down to the lake or walk down from the house. The hiking path is about 300' long. ( the length of a football field). The path is maintained by the Core of Engineers and opens up to a beautiful no wake section of Raystown Lake, very quiet & peaceful. Some people take floats, fishing gear or intertubes to swim or sit and admire the view!! Raystown Lake was built with Ridges & woods on all sides and can be a challenge to some people since it IS an up hill on the way back up the path to your parked car. When our mountain well water has not been used over a few weeks spring or fall there could be an Initial Natural Sulphur odor which is common in this region. If this should occur simply run the water for awhile and the smell will disapate. It is safe and it's treated. Our driveway can hold up to 3-4 vehicles. We ask that vehicles be kept off the yard. A boat parking pad was newly installed for up to a 22' trailer. You can use the turn around at the bottom of Parks Road than drive back up than back the boat into the driveway & onto the boat parking pad. Unhitch your vehicle and go from there . In late fall and winter, we advise 4 wheel or all wheel drive vehicles. The township snow plows are good at spreading salt and plowing Piney Ridge and Parks Road depending how deep the snow is, it may take longer than at other times. All of our winter bookings we advise our plowing company to open the driveway if its over 3 inches or if the township plows go out. We look forward to having you as our guests! Doris & Bill Shank
