Activities Videos
Fair Wynds Fire Breathing Video: When given the opportunity to enhance your vacation experience, Lakewood Lodge takes advantage. Last August we were able to hire the Fair Wynd’s Players to perform at Lakewood Lodge. This video shows one of many acts performed by the Fair Wynd Players. In this video you will see the fire breathing part of their act. This is dangerous and should not be tried unless you are a professional.
Fair Wynds Rope Trick Video: As special opportunities present themselves, Lakewood Lodge enjoys taking part and entertaining their guests to enhance their vacation experience. This is one of those opportunities. Last August we were able to hire the Fair Wynd’s Players to perform at Lakewood Lodge. This video shows the Fair Wynd Players performing one of their many tricks and getting the guests at Lakewood Lodge involved.
Minnow Race Videos: Weekly, Lakewood Lodge offers several scheduled activities for their guests. This clip shows highlights of one week’s "World Class Minnow Races". Remember, these races are not just for kids! Everybody is welcome to join in! Some of our races get WILD!!!
Tubing Video: Jimmy, one of Lakewood Lodge's guests, shows off his tubing skills on Sand Lake by trying to prove you do not need a tube to skim across the water.
Bear Release Video: This video depicts parts of a very interesting day we experienced this year. We were lucky enough to be involved in the capture, transport and release of a nuisance bear. This process began at about 9am and the release occurred at about 2:30pm. This bear weighed in at about 375 pounds. Thank You to professional Bear hunting guide Gary Peck of Bear River Guide Service in Deer River, MN for helping and allowing us to be part of this interesting day.
