Families love Tug Hill Resort too
It goes without saying that there’s also plenty to do for families who want to enjoy some quality time together – in both summer and winter. Tug Hill Resort is the perfect destination for a family holiday because it has so much to offer everyone. The Salmon River is a great place to take a hike, skip some stones and enjoy the panoramic views, while back at the resort, play one of our many garden games, or tell stories and make smores by the fire-pit. Swimming in the reservoir, of course, is also a local favourite and a family-friendly activity.
