Head down to the beach, where you'll find miles of open bay, gorgeous sunrises, and footprints in the sand year round. Launch a canoe or kayak, or even a small boat from the beach or boat ramp. Go for a walk, hike or even a trail bike ride on the miles of trails on the adjacent American Chestnut Land Trust. Enjoy an old fashioned summer at the Community House and pool, and be sure to bring your racket and paddle, as there are multiple tennis & pickleball courts.
