Nice little rental, you can get kayaks, canoes, SUPs, bikes. I suggest paddling to Cedar Island and having a picnic after which you can take a dip in the lake. Gorgeous!

Parks & Nature
Just a bit before reaching Morton there is Rock Dunder, which is the best place to hike in the area. A bit of a climb on the hill, from which you can see all the lakes and the forest.
