👍👍 My children and I were heading into Walgreens one afternoon, when we saw a group of people looking out onto the lake. Our family isn't from the area so we didn't know the history of this location.

Trailhead Park

Park

👍 Nice place to rest while riding the Root River trail. Nice playground for the kids, but it's not a jungle gym type place. Rather, it's a hill, some carved items to climb on, a rock tunnel and other "natural things" kids like.

Gateway Trails
