πŸ‘ Kind of out of the way but it's along the Waponsee Bike Trail so we like it for a great burger and beer stop to rest up. Nice covered outdoor seating area with a volleyball court. If the bikers stop here you know it's good.

πŸ‘πŸ‘ Really pretty walking trail. It's not a very long trail. We spent about 2 hours here (January, some snow on the ground but sunny), most of the path was paved. From a walking/hiking standpoint, this is probably not a full day destination. Definitely worth a visit!
