The Lower Park is a recreation area open for use at no charge by all Leif Erikson lodge members. Facilities include a swimming beach, large dock and swim raft, children’s swings and toys, barbecue pits, camping area, and wide open fields for soccer and other field games. There is even a small boat launch and while the lake limits boats to small motors, it certainly boasts good fishing with limits most opening days. Rest rooms and a large multi-use pavilion are also features of the Park.
RV and Camper hook-ups have been available to Lodge members and guests for years at prices competitive with commercial or State Parks. Lodge members need no reservations for camping but the spots are on a first come-first served basis and some weekends fill up quickly. Members can bring guests to use the park during the day and can even sponsor guests for overnight camping for a few dollars more, as long as the Lodge-Member host is in the Park. Day-user cars in the picnic or beach area need to be moved outside the gate before the gate is locked at 9:00 PM. Dogs must be on a leash at all times and no open fires are allowed.
Fun and Family a
t the Lake
Soaking up the sunshine at the shore of Lake MacMurry isn’t a bad way to spend an afternoon. Some would even call it “added value”. Value to Lodge members that is just like the many other services and activities available to Leif Erikson members. From KaffeStua to winter outings at Trollhaugen , to participation on a bowling team. Each has its value to members and each might be a reason to join the lodge. Leif Erikson Recreation Area, commonly called Norway Park at Lake McMurray, was established more than forty-five years ago as a place for lodge members to enjoy the values of country life only an hour away from Seattle. The facilities established over the years were built and installed with volunteer labor from many lodge members. Lessees pay an annual fee per leased lot. The Lodge pays an annual fee for all members. In the upper part of Norway Park there are 165 lots, which can only be leased by Leif Erikson members. Some lots are vacant, some have cabins and some have year-round residences.
