When you visit Lava Hot Springs, the main attraction is going to be the World Famous Hot Pools & Water Park. But while you're there, be sure to experience some of the other activities. Stop in Mountain Mayhem Adventure Rentals to gear up for a ski trip to Pebble Creek Ski Area. Visit Dempsey Ridge Golf Course and play a few rounds or spend a few hours taking a wagon ride with dinner and western entertainment with Baker Ranch Wagon Rides. And be sure to get a good night's rest in one of these lodgings.

Don't let the spirit scare you away because the Inn offers five outdoor mineral pools as well as a masseur to add to your relaxation. Start your morning with a full buffet breakfast then walk into town for shopping, dining and a few rounds of tennis.
