OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES AT LAKEDALE RESORT
People travel to San Juan Island to experience the island’s extraordinary beauty and countless adventure opportunities, from family vacation activities to exploring Friday Harbor’s best restaurants. Many of our guests don’t realize that Lakedale has activities galore, so on the days you’re not off exploring, stay here and have a Lakedale adventure!
After all, where else can you fit in a round of bocce ball, create your own tie-dye masterpiece, or enjoy the natural wonder surrounding you by practicing yoga on a stand-up paddle board—all on the same day? Check out all we have to offer and why it makes Lakedale such a special place to be!
ON LAND
Challenge your friends or family to a spirited game of giant chess, bocce ball, or horseshoes, or get a big group together and serve up aces on the volleyball court. Nature lovers will revel in the opportunity to take a spin on one of our complimentary bikes or hike around the property while admiring incredible art installations. And, no trip to Lakedale is complete without tie-dyeing a t-shirt or crafting in the Activity Tent!
ON WATER
Our stunning property, complete with three spring-water lakes, provides plenty of ways to have fun on the water. Take it easy with yoga on a stand-up paddleboard or pick up the pace and hop in a canoe, kayak, or Aquacycle. Fishing at Lakedale is suited to adults and kids alike, and after reeling in trout and bass, our sandy, kid-friendly beaches are the perfect places to kick back or float the day away. (That’s your well-deserved lazy afternoon, delivered.)
ART INSTALLATIONS
Capitalizing on 82 acres of natural beauty, we’ve enlisted the expertise of brilliant artists to create one-of-a-kind experiences at Lakedale. During your stay, make sure to check out the symbolic “Embark/Embrace,” which explores the boundaries between man and nature, and “Frozen Wind,” which examines the precarious balance between the natural world and the digital age.

Every June, we partner with Island Athletic Events to host the Three Lakes Triathlon—an event voted “Race of the Month” by Runner’s World magazine! With options for varying fitness levels and abilities, there’s room for everyone at the starting line.
