When you need sushi (we all do)- come eat it in this historic downtown flatiron building. Check out the flower gardens along the side street edge of the building- my friend does them and they’re gorgeous!

A lovely swimming spot down an easy dirt road. A great place to paddle, there are no homes here, only wooded shores and birds.

I personally don’t like playgrounds- more of a wilderness gal, but this park is really really nice- there’s a gravelly beach, horse shoe pits, tennis courts, a pool, and a sprawling shady playground. Kids love it.

On the southern end is Barrett’s cove- a sand beach that’s great for kids. Across rte 52 is Maiden Cliffs trailhead- probably my favorite hike in the area. A short steep trail takes you into big granite ledges with views inland over the lake and the southern coastline. Gorgeous.
