The park’s 20-room mountain lodge offers comfortable accommodations with a full-service restaurant serving Appalachian-inspired cuisine and panoramic mountain views. For families and groups seeking more space, 13 vacation cottages provide fully equipped kitchens, fireplaces, and privacy among the hardwood forests. The 50-site campground accommodates both tent and RV campers with electric hookups, modern bathhouse facilities, and a camp store, all set within a forested mountain setting at over 2,500 feet elevation.

Championship Golf Course

Twin Falls features an 18-hole par-71 championship golf course designed to challenge players of all skill levels while showcasing the park’s stunning mountain scenery. The course plays through rolling Appalachian terrain with elevation changes that make each hole a unique experience. A pro shop, driving range, and snack bar serve golfers, and the mountain setting at elevation ensures cooler summer temperatures than the surrounding lowlands.
