Hiking Trails

Stretch your legs and escape to nature on one of six hiking trails located inside the gates of Olde Beau. Our six groomed trails combine to create one five-mile loop and offer everything from walks through dense wooded forests and open fields to peaceful strolls beside the lake. All trails are well-marked with beginning and end sign posts, and numerous white blazes along the path so all you have to do is focus on enjoying the natural beauty of the property.

Fishing

The Olde Beau property also features multiple ponds and lakes perfect for a casual afternoon of fishing with kids or grandkids. Many of the fishing holes are located just steps from lodging and are stocked with bass, carp and other native types. The banks surrounding the ponds are well maintained, offer plenty of room for casting and are ideal for teaching youngsters the fundamentals.
