We came here to have a glass of wine and enjoy the scenery, and were pleased at the overall experience. They have a good selection of wines (the pinot gris and the strawberry serenade were both excellent), as well as several cheeses, meats, and crackers to offset the alcohol. Most of the seating is outside, which is good for physical distancing. I was impressed at how well they also took safety precautions: we're required to make a reservation beforehand (you only get the table for an hour and a half), and they mark off which path to take so there isn't any crowding. You need to pay $20 for the reservation, but that is taken off your final bill. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. There are also tractors and other farm tools here as part of the vibe, and when they're in season, they also have pumpkins, strawberries and blueberries, and Christmas trees.

Went there when I was a child, but hadn't been back until now. The park is for swimming and picnics. Walking and hiking. They have a small hike up to the fall before you go into the park. Go up to the top and check out the full view of the rocks and the water, just gorgeous.
