What to Bring


What to Bring for your RoseRiver Visit

TOWELS, PILLOWS AND BEDDING - They are not provided. Most Lodge Rooms are furnished with a double bed and a set of bunk beds (twin size) Sleeping bags are recommended for those staying in the Grist Mill. (RoseRiver is now offering Linen Rentals at $10/weekend IF reserved in advance.) 
TOILETRIES -- Including shampoo, soap, toothpaste, etc. Sunscreen and Insect repellent is a very good idea!
FLASHLIGHTS -- because the pathways between the building are very dark at night, each person is advised to bring a flashlight with good batteries.
CASUAL ATTIRE (especially HIKING SHOES) is recommended. No heels!! Please bring clothing appropriate for the season. Warm layers are a must in winter. Snow often stays on the ground here long after it has melted elsewhere. Dress accordingly. Shorts, tee-shirts and modest bathing suits with cover-ups in summer. Evenings can be chilly around the campfires, so jeans and a jacket may be needed.
Old SNEAKERS or WATER SHOES for walking in the stream. Keep in mind that mountain streams can be swift at times, but with proper supervision, they can be safe and delightfully fun even for small children.
FISHING GEAR -- The Rose River is a stocked trout stream. License and trout stamp are required for those 16 and over (available at the local Syria Mercantile store). For the unlicensed, two commercial trout ponds are nearby.)
