Drinks & Nightlife
If I ever go out for a couple of drinks in the area, this is the place that I would go to on a Saturday night. There is not many bars with crowds in this area. You could strike up some casual conversation and dance all night. Only takes me about 20 minutes to stumble home from this location.

Not really a bar. If you want to have a late night dinner with a beer while watching a sports game. I would say check this place out. Usually have whichever hockey game is on that night. An okay spot to just relax for a few with a pint.

Not really a bar. Bit more of a pub. I would go again for the fish and chips. Cool atmosphere. Was an old house converted to a business. Worth checking out at least for one late meal.

Parks & Nature
No elevation but an excellent trail for a casual hike or mountain bike ride. The winding trails could easily take all day if you walk all of them. A few nice outlooks or places to stop and take in the view. Bring bug spray in the summer.
