Tamarack Resort will enter the 2026 summer season with significant new development, expanded recreational offerings and a full calendar of events spanning spring through fall.
Anchored by the opening of the Tamarack Marina and continued growth across the resort, the summer season reflects Tamarack’s evolution into a fully integrated mountain, golf and lake destination.
The 2026 summer season introduces several key projects that expand both the scale and quality of the Tamarack experience. Most notably, Tamarack will debut its new marina on Lake Cascade, featuring 100 boat slips, on-water fuel, a public beach and swim area, and a full suite of rental offerings including motorized and non-motorized watercraft. The marina will serve as a central hub for lake recreation and events throughout the summer. Tamarack’s COO Kara Finley stated, “we can’t wait for families, guests, and the entire community to experience the Marina. Everything is open to the public, so if you need food, fuel for the boat, or are just looking to relax on the lake—we invite you to come down and join us!”
In addition to lake access, Tamarack is expanding its residential and recreational infrastructure. The first Aspen Townhomes are nearing completion and will be move-in ready by early summer, marking the next phase of real estate development taking shape within the resort. On the golf course, a new 9-hole putting course on the social green will introduce an additional, accessible way for guests and families to engage with Osprey Meadows.
Summer programming will also expand through Tamarack Sports School, with offerings spanning mountain biking, lake-based activities and youth-focused instruction. These programs complement existing family and childcare services, including Tamarack Summer Camp, Trailblazers programming and Basecamp childcare.
