    Excellent experience under the sun. I’ve experienced kayaking but this for sure was one of my best yet. I definitely recommend to visitors can’t leave without giving it a try.  more »

    We walked the trail for about an hour. It is calming, not at all difficult, and really pretty. We stopped for a coffee at Alma's and rented kayaks there also.  more »

    And yes, we definitely had to stop by the SRV statue! Make sure you do a nice loop taking in both sides of the lake.  more »
