Things To Do
Ecotopia
Ecotopia is a privately owned and community-supported property with natural hot springs, gardens, and a river running throughout. Their goal is to reconnect people with the land through experience of its beauty, and to encourage us to be gardeners & stewards of the earth. The drive to Ecotopia is BEAUTIFUL and just a few minutes out of town - a really great chance to see more of the land here, and it's such a treat!! We've reserved the springs for our group Friday afternoon from 12-2pm. **Inquire with us about visiting during these times. Want to soak on a different day/time? Book a reservation through their website! Ecotopia is book-able from 8am-8pm, 15 people per 2 hour window.
