Trails to Lake Palestine, it is a natural shoreline, no beach area and swimming and fishing are at your own risk. We have a couple of natural ponds on the property and an Artesian Outdoor Cold Bath for a refreshing 70 degree cold water soak! (season) Guests are welcome to explore the pond area, get in the cold water outdoor bath , but we ask that you do not fish from the ponds at this time, we are still developing this area! Private Hot tub Disc Golf Course on the property for all guests to enjoy. Somewhat difficult course and found on UDisc at lakecabinescape in Flint, TX . Bring your own Disc! Our cabins are built for exploring the outdoors, not the best place for indoor movie watchers:) limited internet availability So come sit on the front porch and enjoy the view or build a campfire and enjoy the stars!!

Or just stay on the private porch sipping coffee and looking for bald eagles on the lake! The large private fire pit area is a great spot to Stargaze and watch the sunset through the trees!
