Cherry Point Beach

One hour easy hike around the lake, and a nice spot to swim in the summer. The swimming area is located within walking distance to the parking lot.

Hike in the forest above the house. Entrance is at the top of the street in the cul-de-sac. This is a steep hike with no substantial views but does have beautiful thick forest. Good to get the kids to burn off some energy.
