About Walhonding Woods

About Walhonding Woods & Waters

At Walhonding Woods & Waters, we believe the best outdoor experiences are about more than what you bring home. They’re about the anticipation of the hunt, the time spent on the water, the people you share it with, and the stories that stick with you long after the trip is over.

Our goal is simple: provide our guests with a first-class hunting and fishing experience backed by quality accommodations, knowledgeable guides, and genuine hospitality.

More Than a Trip

Whether you're sitting in a blind waiting on the buck you've been dreaming about, spending the day chasing fish in Southwest Florida, or relaxing back at the lodge with family and friends, we want your time with us to feel like more than another hunting or fishing trip.

Guests can keep their boat right at the property and cruise through Monroe Canal toward San Carlos Bay for a day of fishing and exploring.

When the fishing is done, come back and cool off in the screened-in pool, which can be heated or cooled for added comfort.

Fire up the grill, cook the day's fresh catch, and enjoy an evening at the house before heading back out the next morning.
