More About Creekside Haven
Located along the drive into Big Rock Creek, this rustic sanctuary makes a beautiful ceremony site or picnic spot. Towering timbers, the creek, and a small bridge create a perfect backdrop for family, engagement, and wedding photos. Enjoy a wagon ride from the ceremony site back to The Barn or take the half-mile walk and keep an eye out for roaming deer, soaring eagles, and the soothing sounds of the stream.
More About The Lake at Big Rock
The lake is a central feature of the grounds, with Rustic Cabins nestled around the shoreline. Once part of an old fish hatchery, it now invites kayaking, canoeing, floating docks, swimming, trout fishing, ice skating, and year-round scenic views.
