Waterfront & Wonderful
Here at Silver Birches you can visit the Recreation Center during summer and fall to take out one of the resort’s kayaks, SUPs or canoes. Group SUP sessions are offered on Mondays and on Wednesdays, enjoy an individual kayak lesson. Other summertime wellness activities include lakeside yoga on Tuesdays. Every evening throughout the year we raise a glass to a day on the lake with a special Sunset Champagne Toast. All that fresh air works up an appetite, so there’s a picnic every Tuesday at noon during summer. On Thursday evenings, find a spot by the lakeside fire pit and indulge in s’mores. From Memorial Day through Columbus Day, Sunday’s Lakeside Live brings entertainment to the resort. During winter and spring the activities move indoors when you can take part in a book swap on Wednesday and join in Game Night on on Tuesdays.
Charming & Traditional
Our sister property, The Settlers Inn, is situated on Main Street along the banks of the Lackawaxen River. Activities there take advantage of the property’s scenic grounds, thriving gardens and rich history. Experience a Canal Walk on Wednesdays. The guided tour explores the remnants of the D & H Canal that are located on the grounds. During summer and fall, Tuesdays bring a guided River Walk while an English Garden Tour on Wednesdays in June offers the opportunity to explore the Inn’s lovely manicured gardens in-depth
Daily Wine Tastings let you sample vintages from the restaurant’s award-winning wine list while you learn more about the diverse world of wine. The Settlers Inn is known for its farm-to-table restaurant. Enjoy an extraordinary meal and live entertainment during Jazz on the Deck every Wednesday throughout summer or live piano music on Saturdays. Cold weather activities at The Settlers Inn tap into the wealth of history and flavors cultivated here. You can enjoy live piano music or find a place at the fireside history chats, which include a Chef’s Tasting.
Cool & Contemporary
