Hiking & Nature Walks
BlissWood has plenty of places for a leisurely hike. Looking out over the fields you may catch a glimpse of grazing deer.

Visit the Animals
Our ranch is home to a variety of animals, both tame and wild. You’re welcome to say hello to them, but we suggest that you book our Texas Kids Fun Package or Exotic Animal Safari for a chance to get up close and personal with them! You may also have the chance to scratch a few ears with some of our Border Collie foster dogs.

BlissWood at Lehmann Legacy Ranch has plenty of room and mild terrain for enjoyable bicycle rides. As well, the local area has a lot of country roads for longer leisurely rides. Of course, there’s no additional charge if you bring your own bike, but we do offer bicycle rental at $35 per person, per day.

We can arrange for picnics to be delivered to your lodging or at the Gazebo at Enchanted Lake. See our Dining Packages for more details and options. Our picnics are also included in several of our inclusive romance and outdoor packages.
