    1 of my favorite parks has a vast expansion of river that is easily accessible to fish. Good trails to hike, has a park for little kids to play, a nice camp ground with a shower if needed would recommend for a day trip or a weekend stay. But you'll want to call ahead of time to see if camp sites are available because spots fill fast in the summer months.

    Another beautiful spot well on summer vacation or if we're just hanging out. Very nice bar close by with cold drinks and hot dinners.
