- Have a picnic in the gazebo, the stone pavilion, at the rocksÂ… or find a secret spot under a shade tree.
- Stay the night in an impressive stone lodge, secluded cottage or primitive campground.
- Bicycle the backcountry mountain and valley roads or the nearby W&OD trail. Make a long weekend out of it.
