The sun was out and the sky was clear making it possible to see a great distance away. It was peaceful and soothing. More

We walk here in the woods all the time. For a great forest hike, take the Ridge Trail/Wilbert Trail loop. The trail to the beach is steep. There are better on the island. More

This is a good if modest state park. There is a very pleasant hike/walk from the parking lot down to the beach. Easy to do in sneakers.
