Twist & Shake
Restaurant
👍👍 Stopped here on a drive across the state, and this place was perfect since we had the dog. Clearly a busy local spot and can’t beat the prices. So good we stopped on the way back home too. The peanut butter ice cream was my fav and the dog loved his doggie cup.

Pike 2 Bike

Rocket MX & Outdoor Entertainment Complex
Park
👍👍 It's very much out of the way in the middle of the woods, but it's a great track, with a safe layout that blends fast-paced straights and sweeping turns with some technical sections. Owners are great and friendly and put their riders first. The terrain is very mixed. A true "intermediate terrain" tr...

Downes Motel
Motel
👍👍 I just needed a spot to shower and a bed for the night. I'm very glad I stumbled on this place. It was built in the fifties and had much of the charm that it probably had back then. It's very basic and very clean. Mark, the owner, was pleasant when checking in. I had called ahead about an hour and h...
