This is a great little place to eat breakfast, lunch and early dinner. It is rustic and has outside picnic benches and indoor seating. It overlooks Lynx Lake which is great. It is seasonal, so be sure to check their dining schedule. Turn at Costco and go south about 2 miles. Cell signal is really sketchy out there at Lynx Lake.

Watson Lake is close to Willow Lake accessed by Hwy 89 at the round-about. Here you can rent kayaks onsite around $30 per hour. There is a nice playground for children and a large ramada overlooking the lake which is nice to see. Afternoons can get windy over this lake making it difficult to paddle back to the dock. Be sure to check the weather.
