The vast waterways, interesting wildlife, and crystal-clear blue water keep people coming back again and again. A family-friendly environment, Pacific Palms resort offers an extensive activities program along with facilities, including a swimming pool, spa, sauna, gymnasium, barbecue and playground. For excursions farther afield, a car is necessary to fully enjoy the area, as public transportation is not available. Nearby Smith's Lake provides boat rentals and Wallis Lake has picnic spots. Four-wheel-drive tours can be arranged with pick up at the resort. Paddle boats and windsurfers are only 3 miles (5 km) away.
