With loads to do onsite, let Rivers Ridge
Lodge engage your guests...
whatever their age or inclination.
“THE RIVER” is specifically the Crooked
Creek, a branch of the Catawba River. It
varies between 30-40 feet
in width and 1-8 feet in depth. Guests have
access to over 3000 feet of river frontage on
the property.
We have blazed a rough walking trail (~1 mile)
that closely follows the riverbank for about 1/2
mile at each end.
This river walk starts out easy and becomes
moderately challenging as it travels upstream.
The kids love to search for crawdads, splash in
the shallow rapids, dig in the sand
and mud on the riverbank, collect rocks and
other treasures and generally stay wet!
Please fish - and grill, minutes out of the
water, if you like - native Trout, Catfish and
Bass.
Clean up at the outdoor bathhouse near the
river. Guests must bring fishing equipment and
those ages 16 and older
must obtain a regular NC fishing license to
fish our waters at Rivers Ridge Lodge.
(A youth under the age of 16
accompanied by a properly licensed adult may
fish without a license.)
We also offer fly-fishing instruction upon
request. For more detailed information, please
click on our FLY FISHING link.
ON THE PROPERTY is a large, flat grassy
area perfect for sports, a sturdy fire pit
encircled by rustic bench seating,
and acres of varied forest terrain to climb and
explore. Two air-conditioned bunkhouses (the
Arbor Knot and Hornet’s Nest),
located within sight of Rivers Ridge Lodge, provide
a unique space for sleeping or just hanging out.
The DECK, which overhangs the river,
offers 5000 square feet of relaxing, fresh
outdoor space.
Enjoy the seating for 38. Twenty-four of those
seats surround circular tables for casual
outdoor dining.
Relax in the hot tub, sun on the chaise lounge
chairs or fire up the gas grill and cook that
fresh fish you just caught.
Indoors, guests find many unique and
well-appointed amenities.
The GOURMET KITCHEN’S treasure is its Aga
4 Oven Cookstove,
popular in Europe and so
versatile when cooking for a crowd.
The Aga is a little
different so we invite you to visit Aga’s
website
for more information on how to love this
exceptional appliance: www.aga-ranges.com.
Rivers Ridge Lodge also has
written information about the Aga
and cookbooks
onsite to help make the most of your Aga
experience.
The 20’ vaulted GREAT ROOM invites all
with its 16’ stone fireplace, gas logs and
stylishly comfortable western décor.
The adjoining DEN offers a large screen
satellite TV, DVD player, book library and board
games.
It is a great place for the little ones to play
while you keep an eye on them and it offers an
additional TV/DVD to watch in a space that is a
bit quieter and away from the crowd.
On the lower level, guests enjoy a very casual
THEATRE-BAR and adjoining GAME ROOM.
You’ll appreciate another large screen
satellite TV, DVD Player and XBOX (with game
CD’s).
Gas logs keep you cozy and the enormous teak
root bar and adjoining game room provide a great
place to gather together
for hours of fun. Entertain yourselves in the
game room at the poker/bumper pool table or
regulation pool table.
Full laundry facilities, ½ bath, portable phone,
stereo and extra refrigerator are found on this
level.
Rivers Ridge Lodge also offers
free wireless high speed satellite Internet and
free long distance phone service to any state in
the United States and Canada.

Suite and deck. The Aspen King Suite and
Cherokee King Suite may be accessed (in a
wheelchair) from the deck.
The lower level Theatre-Bar and Game Room may be
