The Rose Garden Labyrinth was completed in 2008. Located in the midst of our historic formal rose garden, it often leaves the visitor feeling as if it has been there since the beginning. Completed by all volunteer crews over the course of two years under the foremanship of George Erdenberger (local professional landscape architect on our board) , it is a work of art, including the center piece, which is a pebble mosaic created by art students under the direction of artist/teacher Anna Meyrick of Anna Meyrick Studios. You are welcome to walk the labyrinth at anytime you are staying with us at Menucha. To come on special occasions when you are not with a group, please call the office ahead of time and we will prepare a guest badge for you, which you may pick up at the office when you arrive, wear while you are walking, and return to the office when you are done. There is also some material in the office to help guide your walk if you wish.
For those who may be seriously interested in a work-out, Menucha has some dirt trails that would provide some great mountain running. Other jogging routes available from 4 miles+, ranging in difficulty from simple to strenuous are accessible in the local area. Maps are available in the office. For those who prefer a hike through the woods or a leisurely walk, our forest trails are very enjoyable. Hike through old-growth Douglas Fir and Western Red Cedar along our gurgling stream.
The outdoor pool was built in 1929, has been rebuilt as needed since then, and is open only during the warm part of the year. It is 30 x 75 feet, has a low diving board, and is located so that it has an outstanding eastward view of the Columbia River Gorge. It is usually opened on or about Memorial Day and closes by early September. The pool area has picnic facilities, dressing rooms and bathrooms. The view brings people to the pool even when they don’t plan to swim.
An increasingly popular activity, there are croquet sets available for set up on our open lawn spaces. Please check out a set from the office and return when you are done. If you are particularly keen on this game, please be aware that we have an annual tournament that raises funds for the Friends of Menucha Foundation in which you can participate. Included in the entrance fee is a picnic lunch, fun for all ages, and an opportunity to listen to (and maybe participate?) in a live blue grass band.
