    Bike trails are nice although kind of confusing if you've never been on them. I'm more of a kayaker. Love being able to go right down the road from my house.

    Love both of the beaches! Get there early, the lots fill up quick. Clean and well maintained.

    the beginning of the yellow trail is confusing, so just follow the direction of the signs

    For the mountain bikers... ride the blue loop first, at about 8 miles in, watch for signs to merge onto the yellow loop... saves you from having to go back to the trail head... totals 14 miles +
