Whether you are looking for adventure or relaxation, you will find it at Southern Gap Outdoor Adventure. Connected to the Coal Canyon ATV trail system, Southern Gap is a thrill-seeker’s playground. If you are looking for a more relaxing getaway, check into your cabin, grab the binoculars, and venture out on foot or in your car to view the herds of elk that roam the countryside.

2. Breaks Interstate Park

Located within the Breaks Interstate Park, you will find lakefront cabins that lend themselves to tranquil evenings and front porch sitting. You can fill your days with numerous park activities, including hiking, biking, kayaking, paddle boating, and so much more. Visit the Rhododendron Restaurant on a misty mountain morning to enjoy a tasty meal while watching the veil of fog lift to reveal the 1650 ft gorge that is called the “Grand Canyon of the South”.

3. Natural Tunnel State Park

Natural Tunnel State Park Lodge

More than 850 feet long and 10 stories high, this “Eighth Wonder of the World” was naturally carved into the limestone ridge over thousands of years. It is truly a place of wonder, where the silence is deafening and the sheer rock faces that surround you are otherworldly. Hike from your cabin, located within the park, and descend by trail or by chairlift to the tunnel viewing platform, where an active rail line still emerges from the tunnel.

4. Foxtail Orchards

Foxtail Orchards Cabins

Located directly on Back of the Dragon, Foxtail Orchards offers cozy cabins with a personal touch.
