Hiking/Nature
Great trails at all levels of difficulty. While very popular, the Flat Rock trail is a quick stroll to a very special spot. When we were teenagers, we bushwhacked our way to this amazing spot because there was no trail. Now we like the Grove Run loop and Fish Run too. For a nice vista check out Beams Rocks- easy short hike.
