Alpine Pedal Path is a nice little walk around the lake. It's very peaceful and it is an easy walk. Occasionally our family will rent bikes and take a ride on the path.

Fawn Park is a tiny but cute little park located in Fawnskin. It's a nice park for the little ones and the drive there is nice, as you go around the lake.

If you're interested in a more challenging hike, we recommend the Castle Rock Trail. It's an amazing place for beautiful photos. It is long so we suggest bringing plenty of water. (Weekends tend to get crowded and parking is limited. It's best to go early.)

Local is one of our new favorites. It is a Hawaiian style little cafe. They have delicious smoothies, acai fruit bowls, coffee and teriyaki/rasta bowls. Their island latte is our favorite! It's made with their coconut/macadamia milk and lightly sweetened with raw sugar cane. :) (No indoor seating, good for food to go. Also, usually closes at 5pm)
