Mountain Biking- Heartwood has a fleet of front suspension mountain bikes available for rent so you may explore our trails.  Already have a bike? Bring your own and enjoy our trails all the same!

Basketball- Heartwood has 6 outdoor basketball hoops for you to work on your game. HORSE anyone?

Tennis- Heartwood has two tennis courts located across from the Eagle Lodge. Ask at the front desk to use our rackets and tennis balls.

Horseshoes- Heartwood has two horseshoe pits located behind the basketball courts.

Sand Volleyball- Two courts await your team challenge. Soft sand makes the landings more tolerable, so go ahead and throw yourself at that ball like the pros do.

Boating- Heartwood offers canoes, kayaks, and rowboats for use on Hoinville Lake on a first come first serve basis. Paddles and PFD's are available.

Fishing – Hoinville Lake contains Bass, Northern Pike, Crappie, Sunnies and Bluegill.  Fishing equipment and supplies are available.  A Wisconsin fishing license is required. Heartwood encourages catch and release fishing (live bait is not available).

Hiking- Heartwood offers over 20 kilometers of trails to hike on.

Hay rides- Our hay wagon can hold 20 people. Try combining a hayride with a lunch on the trails or enjoy a ride at sunset. Activity Rate Sheet
