Napa
Kiikku!
.jpgweb.jpg)
Line
up for some Finnish fun!
Napa Kiikku (translation: “pole swing”) is an incredibly popular ice sled ride
for children, unique to Lapland Lake! As ice forms in the early season, we
freeze a pole vertically in the center of the pond. An extension pole is
attached at an angle, and to the end of this pole a sled is attached. A child lies
or sits on the sled while
one of Lapland Lake’s energetic employees pushes the pole in circles. The
centrifugal force makes kids feel like they’re flying! Check out the picture!
Napa Kiikku runs weekends and holidays 2:00 – 3:00pm (ice conditions permitting)
and is free of charge with purchase of facility use pass (ages 6+) and
to children 5 and under!
This should not be missed! |

Snow Tubing!!
Another popular activity for Lapland Lake’s
kids! Two
tubing hills – one is steeper, one is easier – to suit kids of all ages and
levels of fearlessness! Bring your own tubes or rent them from us (full day
$15; half day, 9 – 12:30 or 1 – 4:30, $10). Lapland’s tubes are large
enough for two for double the fun! One hill is lighted until 9pm
for members of the general public on specially scheduled Saturday nights and exclusively for our
overnight guests’ use every night. Please note: our tubing
hills are non-lift operated, ride down-carry back up for plenty of old-fashioned
fun! Use of tubing hills is free of charge with purchase of facility use
pass (ages 6+) and to children 5 and under. |

Ice-Skates
  Get
off the snow and on the ice for a fun alternative outdoor activity! Our ice-skating pond is a great spot for ice-skating fun and games! We rent
junior (the smallest offer double blades for stability) and adult ice-skates
along with hockey skates. Our pond is lighted until 9pm for members of the
general public on specially scheduled Saturdays and nightly for our overnight
guests. Use of ice-skating pond free of charge with purchase of facility use
pass (ages 6+) and to children 5 and under. |

Kick Sleds
Have
a blast on a kick sled!
Imagine a wooden seat atop
two long, metal runners. Now imagine sitting on the seat with your feet propped
on a bar in front of you while your kick sled partner pushes from behind (one
foot on a runner, the other equipped with a crampon “kicking” to propel the sled
forward). This is some incredibly fast fun! Kick sleds are used on Woods Lake when there is
little or no snow. Great fun for any kid or any adult who wants to be a kid!

Pulk Sleds
Have
an itty-bitty (or two) that wants to join in the xc ski fun?
Pulk sleds allow parents to pull children behind as they ski. Equipped with a
cushioned waist band and two long aluminum poles, pulk sleds are just the ticket
for a successful family outing. Our pulk sleds are available with single or
double seats and are enclosed with a weatherproof flexible plastic cover to
protect wee ones from wind and snow. Bring along a special blankie. As parents
ski, the gentle swaying motion quickly puts most little ones into dreamland! We
advise placing advance reservations to ensure availability. |
