Running through Wayne and Pike counties, the Lackawaxen River is just a few minutes from the resort.

JEOPARDY WINNER MATHEW JACOBS CREDITS WOODLOCH When Mathew Jacobs appeared on JEOPARDY this past December (11th & 12th), who knew his Woodloch game playing skills would play such a significant role.
"I won the first game I was on, and finished with over $11,000 in prize money. My family has been coming to Woodloch since 1989 (when I was 8 years old). A week at Woodloch was an annual family vacation every summer for me and my three sisters through much of the 1990s. I think it was one of the places where I got my love for trivia contests and game shows. I never got my Waterskiing Club Card, but I always found my way to the North Lodge for some "Name That Tune" and "Trivial Pursuit."
My sisters and I eventually grew up and moved away, and our family hadn't been back to Woodloch in many years. I decided to use part of my winnings to bring everyone back to Woodloch, including flying one of my sisters in from Arizona. There was nothing I'd rather do with the prize money than spend time with my favorite people, in one of my favorite places in the world.
Eight of us in my family converged on Woodloch last weekend, coming in from DC, Delaware, Connecticut, Brooklyn, and Arizona and meeting in the good ol' Main Lodge. We had a wonderful time, as always. We even purchased a horse during the Friday night horseracing in the nightclub. We named it "Daily Double" in honor of the occasion...and it won the jackpot!
Thanks for 20 years of wonderful Woodloch hospitality!"
