This is a MUST SEE place if you are spending any time in the area! It is a beautiful old Lodge on one of the world's largest natural springs. The Mastodon bones on display in the downtown history museum came from here. The restaurant has old school charm but is not too pricey. the food is wonderful! You can swim, hike, and eat on a fun day trip. It is about a 30 minute drive away.
