Things to do in Blue Mountain

Redd’ Fueling Station is a hidden gem that is definitely worth a visit. The front is an unassuming gas station and convenience store, but venture further in and you will find a restaurant with experience all its own. Redd not only slings drinks but also sings and performs. This “singing and slinging” draws quite the crowd and reservations are recommended. Nothing compares to the atmosphere of a restaurant with live music and often guests find themselves singing along as Redd belts out the tunes and creates an evening you won’t soon forget. Redd also brings in top talent, we were lucky enough to enjoy a night with one of Nashville’s top songwriters. We had our own MTV unplugged session. For something on the other end of the nightlife spectrum, McTighe’s Irish Pub is exactly what you are looking for. It lives up to its name and provides great beers, pub foods in generous portions, and nothing fancy or elaborate, just good times with great folks. Cash only, but they have an ATM in case you forget. 

Coastal Dune Lakes Blue Mountain is home to three of the area’s fifteen coastal dune lakes that exist only in a handful of places around the globe, including New Zealand and Australia. These lakes share a connection with the gulf but are not always saltwater bodies. They fill with runoff and swelling groundwater, but as they overfill their banks, they mix with the gulf, which makes each lake a unique body for wildlife and vegetation.
