Sightseeing
The trail around the lake is nice to take a walk, bike ride or roller blade. Watching the bald eagles is amazing. Boat rentals in summer time is fun for the whole family. The beach is also open in summer for everyone to enjoy. Lots of marathons are held at the lake to come out and watch.

This winery has become a hot place to visit. They have all sorts of events from music to learning to cook. The owners are very nice. Harvesting grapes is very interesting and fun to do. You can always call to ask more information for volunteering to help harvest the grapes.
