It’s a beautiful fall day at CoolWaters on the Pine River — the woods are glowing with vibrant reds, oranges, and golds. It’s the perfect weekend to toss your tent in the car, load up the kayaks or OHVs, and come enjoy one more fall adventure.

Paddle the Pine River (no permit needed after Labor Day), explore miles of colorful trails, or take a relaxing fall‑foliage drive through Wellston’s backroads. Walk‑ins are always welcome.
