Pretty good Thai food 5 min drive from our house. They get pretty busy, so better plan ahead, especially if ordering for take out.

Parks & Nature

If you go all the way to the left of the Lake there is a tiny marina and a beach. You can rent boats there and relax in the shade. They even have a few lounge chairs and tables.

Beautiful little lake with a beach. About 30 minutes hike from the parking lot. Beware, need to pay for parking. Used to be $7. There is no attendant on site, so take exact change. Closed during the winter and early spring.

A little pond just 2 minutes drive from our place. This pond's goal in life is to teach kids how to fish. In fact, it's illegal to fish there if you are above 14 without kids' supervision.

Not sure about the restaurant itself but the beach it's on is pretty nice. Centrally located, good views, the resort it's located on keeps it clean, there is a restaurant at the resort if you go hungry. We go here often.

Several different trails to choose from. It does get pretty busy and there may be traffic on weekends. There is camping grounds up to this point. There is a small parking where the trail starts. If you don't find available spots, then go back to Emerald Bay Rd and park there.

Gorgeous but touristy. Worth a trip if you've never been. Especially over the week when it's not as busy. Be prepared for a long walk down (around 30 mins) and then up.

Drinks & Nightlife

They don't (usually) have food. Just beer, games, events. Nice and relaxing place. You can actually bike there from our house though getting back might be challenging. If you do decide to bike, you can park your car near Sawmill Pond and bike from there.

Beer

A nice beer place with large outside sitting area with fire pits and live music (which could get kinda loud sometimes though) Large selection of beer. Pretty good food. We like pizza there.

Huge outside sitting area. Large beer selection that they change every week or so. You can bring your own food, but they also have a vendor onsite that sell tacos, hotdogs, etc. A great place to relax after a beach or mini golf which is right next door.
