Our family loves to play tennis and this park has a huge assortment of courts to play on. Not to mention lots of grassy areas and a playground for the kids to run off some steam. Pack a snack or a lunch as there are plenty of picnic tables as well.

Stopped for Sunday brunch and the food was excellent. We were recommended try the "World's best coconut pie" and it was truly an excellent piece of pie. We enjoyed chatting with the owner. Very friendly wait staff. They also have an adjacent shop with various unique items for sale. Would definitely stop again if we're in the area

The Cave Without a Name is a small cave but didn't disappoint. Beautiful formations and just the thrill of being underground in a cave was all it took for our grandsons to be impressed. Our guide was informative telling us the history of the cave and giving us lessons on the formations. WARNING...there are steep stairs which were okay going down but this old out of shape granny, had to take several stops to rest and catch her breath!

We recently visited here as part of a community activity and had not been here in a while. They have kept this place in nice condition and added more since the last time we visited. There was plenty of parking and the area is nicely spread out for social distancing with several areas to enjoy. The picnic area is nicely shaded and close to the visitor center which had maps of the four trails. The trails are 1/2 mile to 1/3 miles in length with some a little more challenging along the creeks then others that are mulch type trails. The Marshland Trail is handicap-accessible. There is a pavilion, observation deck and restrooms. There is no entrance fee but donations are accepted. Bicycles are not allowed on the trails. It was nice and breezy the afternoon we visited. Great creek exploration with cypress trees and wildlife.

Enjoy spectacular scenery along River Road, a drive not for the faint of heart.

This is a wonderful town with an assortment of places to go and things to do. If you want to take a break from shopping, consider a short detour to take a leisurely walk along the river. You can easily park at many locations in town and walk to the river trail. The paved trail goes from one side of downtown to the other with access also from some businesses/shops along Main St. One end on river road has restrooms, picnic tables and is right along the river for a picnic or just to relax and watch the multitude of ducks. You can walk the paved trail under the bridge and around behind businesses on Main as you see the river wind. Along the way are some nice art sculptures. If you walk the entire length you will end up past the main square. This is always an enjoyable area that is nicely maintained.

What a pleasant surprise, the owner winemaker led us thru a complete line tasting of some superbly made varietals, like cinsault, tannat, albarino, and mouverde. You will not find more enjoyable wines in CA in these varietals, thankfully Texas winemakers are not trying to be Bordeaux. Loved it.
