As leaves change, September and October present perhaps the nicest times at Jamaica Point Lodge.  Many warm days remain for outdoor hiking, canoeing and other activities.  Chilly evenings are spent around stone fireplaces and the All-Nighter wood stove, which heats the Great Room to toasty temperatures.   Short hikes up many nearby trails overlooking the Belgrade Lakes offer panoramic views and dramatic colors.   Vocal loons gather on the water in large clans, readying for migrations. 

	The 20-minute hike up French's Mountain offers stellar lake views, particularly in fall.

Bring your clubs to play the spectacular Belgrade Lakes Golf Course, ranked one of the top public courses in the country.   Even non-golfers are invited in and around the course’s clubhouse to appreciate the panoramic views of Belgrade Lakes.

And don’t forget to watch our copy of “On Golden Pond” along with your own DVDs (or shows found on the lodge’s  satellite dish and Tivo).  As the propaganda on this website reports elsewhere, “On Golden Pond” was filmed in Squam Lake in New Hampshire.   However, the lake at Jamaica Point is the real  “On Golden Pond, written about by playwright Ernest Thompson, a long-time Belgrade Lakes camp owner.  (The mail is still delivered by boat in summer months.)

The classic movie was shot at Squam Lake, which offered more facilities for cast and crew.  However, Belgrade Lakes, in our biased view, offers more serenity and a remarkably similar look-and-feel to the shots in the movie.

Jamaica Point Lodge can be rented for groups, often between six and 18, for extended fall weekends – either two-, three- or four-night stays.
