Rachel has a wide selection of seafood, sides and catering options. On the weekends, there's a selection of delicious sandwiches which can be ordered up — but be patient, this ain't no fast-food joint! Some basics like bread can be picked up here. We've order paella ingredients for making at home.

Don't skip Skip's if you can appreciate an old-school supper club! It's all about the prime rib and martinis here. It's not glamour, but it's way more than good. A local favorite.

Parks & Nature

Take in the view of the wetlands along the river from a bird's eye view among the treetops along the lookout bridge and deck. See a mix of upland and wetland habitats along the Galien River via a 300' Canopy Walkway that leads to a 60' high Marsh Overlook Tower and a 600' long Marsh Boardwalk that leads to River Viewing and Fishing Platform. Always a delight!

Take a walk on the wild side. This is a great walk through the majestic woods. Follow the trails to the river and beyond. We like to park at the north entrance along Warren Woods Rd. and enter from the under-the-radar trail there. Looks for the parked cars along the road or kept your eyes peeled for the trailhead.

Follow this street to the lake and you'll find a large enough beach front open to the public. There's no parking here but it's a nice, easy walk down to the lakefront without stairs. Perhaps do a dropoff with a carload and then have the driver take a bike back!

Follow this road to the lake and you'll find our small, charming public street-end beach. Parallel parking is allowed here along the road, just be respectful of the neighbor's driveways and other beach-goers. Lately, the beach has been quite shallow but it changes every year. If you go on the early side, you'll get good shade from the trees.
