A multi-day stay at Soggy Bottom Lodge is about more than just a place to sleep. It’s about slowing down, spending time outdoors, and building an experience that balances adventure, relaxation, and connection. When you give yourself more than a single day, the lodge opens up in a whole new way.
Whether you are planning a hunting trip, a corporate retreat, or a getaway with family or friends, here’s how to thoughtfully build a multi-day adventure that lets you experience everything Soggy Bottom Lodge has to offer.
Day One: Arrive, Settle In, and Unplug
Your first day is about transition. After arriving at the lodge, take time to get settled, unpack, and explore your surroundings. Many guests enjoy starting slow, walking the property, relaxing on the porch, or spending a quiet afternoon by the water.
An easy first afternoon of fishing on the lodge’s stocked lakes or a peaceful paddle by kayak or canoe helps set the tone for the days ahead.
As evening settles in, guests gather for a home-cooked Southern meal and their first night by the fire. This is often when phones go away, stories start flowing, and the lodge begins to feel like home.
Day Two: A Full Day in the Field
This is the day many guests look forward to most: a full hunting experience from start to finish.
Mornings at Soggy Bottom Lodge begin early on hunting days. After breakfast, guests head into the field with experienced guides who know the land, the patterns, and the best locations for success. Depending on the season, that may mean trophy whitetail or fallow deer, quail, pheasant, or duck hunting.
Unlike rushed day hunts, having a full day allows you to settle into the rhythm of the field. There is time to observe wildlife, learn from your guide, and experience Alabama hunting the way it was meant to be experienced. For those new to the area, Understanding Alabama Wildlife Patterns offers helpful insight into how animals move throughout the year.
After returning to the lodge, the pace naturally slows. Some guests rest, while others replay the morning’s hunt over lunch or take a quiet walk around the property.
Evenings after a hunt often become the most memorable moments of the trip, stories shared around the fire, laughter over dinner, and the satisfaction that comes from a day well spent outdoors.
Day Three: Shooting Sports and Outdoor Exploration
After a full hunting day, many guests enjoy shifting gears while staying active. This is the perfect time to take advantage of the lodge’s shooting sports and outdoor experiences.
The long-distance rifle range, stretching up to 800 yards, allows guests to test precision or refine their skills, with instructors available for those looking to improve. Others gravitate toward the 5 Stand Skeet Shooting course or the 15-station sporting clay course, both designed to simulate real quail, duck, and pheasant hunting scenarios.
For guests who prefer a slower pace, kayaking or canoeing across the still waters of the lodge lakes offers a peaceful way to reconnect with nature. These quieter moments often become just as memorable as the more adrenaline-filled activities.
Day Four: See the Property and Slow the Pace
By the fourth day, most guests are fully settled into lodge life. This is a great time to explore the land in a different way.
A guided buggy tour provides a relaxed look at the property and highlights the habitat management that supports the lodge’s hunting and fishing experiences. It’s a favorite for families, corporate groups, and anyone who wants to understand the care that goes into maintaining the land.
This day is intentionally flexible. Some guests return to the range or the water, while others choose to relax on the porch, read, or enjoy conversation without an agenda.
Let the Lodge Be Part of the Experience
Comfort matters when you stay multiple days. Spacious rooms, inviting common areas, and thoughtful amenities make it easy to unwind between activities.
