It's a nice easy trail with no major challenges but a beautiful walk all the same.
The parking lot isnt very large and fills up quickly when busy, but again that may have been because it...

Chapman Mills Conservation Area
Nature preserve
👍👍 This is my go-to spot in the summer when I want to get out of the house, have a sunny walk, and maybe try to find some snakes in the tall plants. Very well maintained, quaint, relaxing.
The best time to visit is during the week as it can get busy on a beautiful summer weekend. Keep an eye out for t...

David Bartlett Park
Park
👍 Great dog park to use while visiting family. Not fully fenced so beware! Went in “winter” so it was quite muddy near the entrance but overall good space to roam. If your dog likes water ensure they have good recall when the ice is there, can be dangerous. Many friendly people and dogs but enough spa...

Sheila McKee Memorial Park
Park
👍👍 The beach is a really nice place to sit quietly and skip rocks. It's pretty in the winter too. Echoing the other reviews, there is a rather steep gravel path that makes me a little nervous on regular summer days, but in the winter it's almost like an ice slide. Still, if you're willing to risk it, i...
