Fun in the rain at Purity Spring Resort- here are a few ideas.

Year after year guests visit Purity Spring Resort. Some years the weather is beautiful and some years, like this one, it's pretty damp. But that shouldn't stop guests from having a good time, there's plenty to do- even in the rain provided there's no lightning or high winds. Common sense is always key in any weather event.

Hiking in the woods can be particularly beautiful on a rainy day. Gear up with some rain wear, even if it's just a rain coat, it's warm enough that getting wet won't cause any great discomfort, and step into the woods. The rain drops glisten off of each leaf and pine needle making the woods sparkle on the cloudiest of days. It feels good to get outside, moving around and enjoying the sights, sounds and scents of a rainy day in the woods. Pretty soon you'll be enjoying the rythmic sounds of the rain falling on the leaves overhead and you'll be happy you ventured out. Spend some time in our Audubon Sanctuary and discover frogs and toads, see what our resident wildlife is up to (they don't stop because it's raining) or just hike some trails for exercise. It's a great way to lift your spirits when you need it.

Swimming can be allot of fun on a rainy day. Especially on a morning like today. Yesterday was in the 90's and the night was pretty warm too. This morning we awoke to some showers but the water is still warm from yesterday's heat... warmer in fact than the air. With inflatables like our iceberg, jumping into warm water on a rainy day can be particularly fun. This is the stuff memories are made of- making fun out of a seemingly washed out day.

Fishing and boating are great rainy day activities. Our resident loons are still here and they're beautiful. Kayak out to the northern end of the lake and find them fishing or teaching their baby to fly. It's an amazing sight... loons need a long runway for take off to begin with, and the baby needs even more. You don't see mother nature like this every day. Or, throw a worm on your hook and try your hand at catching fish on Lake Purity. Our pickerel are particularly feisty and ready to fight. The excitement of having a "fish on" will certainly make you forget about the rain.

These are just a few things you can do here at Purity Spring Resort and around our beautiful valley even during the rainiest days. Just remember- you won't melt! So get out there and enjoy some smiles.
