Great walk with the family. Staff is great. They offered a lot of information along the way! The animals on the farm were a plus for my 4 year old. He wasn't expecting to see a 3 week old calf. The lake/beach was very nice. A great way to cool off after hiking around the cabins for an hour and a half. Everything is nice and clean and the visitors center/church rest room was very clean.
