The Top Family-friendly Destinations on the West Coast
By Elisa Ast All
Sunriver is also home to 54 holes of championship golf, including the nationally recognized Crosswater course. Other outdoor recreation at Sunriver includes three outdoor swimming pools and tennis courts, Orvis-endorsed fly fishing, whitewater rafting and volcano tours. During the winter months, enjoy some Alpine and Nordic skiing or a snowmobile tour. Kids ages 3 to 10 will love Fort Funnigan, where they'll meet new friends, do fun crafts and have lots of outdoor adventures.
For some serious adult relaxation, or even just a good workout, visit the Sage Springs Club and Spa. This stunning facility has a lap swimming pool, several Jacuzzis and steam rooms and a fitness center with top-quality cardio and weight equipment, all overlooking the three indoor tennis courts. After your workout, pamper yourself with a massage, facial or any of the many other spa services offered at Sage Springs.
The resort lodge offers several dining options, including the Owl's Nest Pub, Meadows Restaurant and the Merchant Trader Mercantile and Caf窠which is open for breakfast and lunch. The Sunriver village center, located just next to the resort, has many quaint little shops and restaurants, and in the wintertime there is an outdoor ice rink for the whole family. No matter what season you visit, Sunriver is a fantastic family destination, so enjoy!
