Evans Lake
Best lake in the area-IMO.
Fun fact- I worked here for almost 5 years growing up. Steve Meckley, Owner, is an amazing, upbeat guy. The farm has transformed over the years, but most definitely kept up with the times. I promise you won’t be disappointed if you make the trip. Just FYI, the best donuts go fast so get there early. Also, check out their website for events happening each weekend.

This fun little theater is a great place to go if the weather is not cooperating at the lake. They have all the popcorn, snacks and drinks you could want.
