While at Coldwater Gardens, guests can fully immerse themselves in their surroundings through a variety of activities like stargazing; yoga; kayaking, paddleboarding and tubing on Coldwater Creek; and more.

 

Because Coldwater Gardens sits far away enough from light-filled cities, guests can enjoy unparalleled views of the sky atop the stargazer platform. This platform also includes a firepit, picnic table, hammock chairs, solar charging stations and more for a memorable and relaxing stargazing experience.
