Activities

On the water, in the dunes or on the green. Here is everything there is to do at MarDon, and when each of it runs.

The Season

What runs, and when

The reservoir is open twelve months a year, so the season decides what you do rather than whether you can.

Fishing runs all season. Boats and paddle craft come out once the water warms, and the waterfowl arrive about the time the summer crowd goes home.

Off the water, trails start at the edge of the property and the mini golf course sits a few steps from the store. The Gorge Amphitheater, the wildlife refuge and the Columbia Basin wineries are all an easy drive.
