A slower day beside Center Hill Lake
Arrange a lake outing through an appropriate access point, starting your planning with Pates Ford Marina one mile away. Keep the rest of your couples’ day at the property: sweeping lake views, a private outdoor hot tub and time in the sauna.
A second day outdoors
For another outing, the guidebook suggests Edgar Evins State Park, approximately 50 minutes from the property. Plan your visit around a suitable walk and time to return to the dome. Check Edgar Evins visitor information.
