This is a little bit of a drive, but it's such a pretty old New England Town... Take a walk through main street, have an ice cream or a pizza slice. Walk, bike or drive to the edge of the Cove and stop to throw some pebbles in... Sit on the grass and enjoy the scenery...

You can actually enter this walking trail from the cul-de-sac to the north of our house. It is short, but has a medium level climb that is not suitable for young kids or people with mobility restrictions. The views from the valley at sunset are worth it.

This feels a bit like a carnival more so than an amusement park. It is rather small but young kids will love it, and parents will too, because there are some nice views to be had and not a lot of standing in lines. There is a small lake beach there too which is nice.
