Friends have told me this is a great place to take a Horse trail ride. You will need to make a reservation. Looking on the website they offer zip-lining and spider tours.

Food scene
We enjoy this place. There are only a few seats inside but we enjoy eating outside or under the overhang. There is always something going on there. Check and see when they have karaoke night, Trivia..... Nice menu and even have take-out. The lake is beautiful, I wouldn't go if you are in a rush.
