Always have a great time whenever I’m here! It’s an awesome location to canoe, fish, cross country ski, snow shoe or just hike. It’s a great spot to spend some time outdoors during all seasons!

Walk the Marina Park area frequently. It is still amazing after all these years. The walk ways. The vistas. The benches. The amenities. We are truly blessed to have this focal point for all 4 seasons.
