For Our younger guests who haven’t discovered the value in an idle afternoon, there are many different
activities located inside the gates of Leatherwood Mountains to fill the void. Encourage your children
to explore the meadow. Catch minnows and crawdads in the creek, or hunt animal tracks along the bank.
Whether on foot or by bicycle, Leatherwood’s meadow provides a safe environment for children to explore
on their own. Older children might enjoy taking a hike into the foothills of the blue ridge.
A leatherwood trail map can provide days of the most beautiful hiking one could ask for. Kids can also
play tennis, swim in the pool, ride horses (*see requirements), fish and play basketball all within our
resort!
For fun outside the gates Elk Creek is a fun little float trip in a tube, or try your hand at catching some
fish of the local variety. The towns of Boone and blowing rock contain a plethora of things to do for the
entire family. Your children will remember their Leatherwood adventures for years to come. We would guess
that they will be asking to return again and again!
LEAD LINE RIDES
For the younger
kids (4-7years old) and timid adults, we now offer a 30
minute lead-line ride. This one-on-one ride will be given
by a trained handler in a controlled environment on a well
seasoned docile horse. Bring the kids for a great first
experience that will last a lifetime. Birthday parties are
welcome.
$30 per session (multiple kids are welcome)
