Best ice cream on the lake! Consider ordering a smaller size than normal as a small is 2 scoops and a large is so big they give you a cup to go with your cone. The local secret is they have a kiddie size (1 scoop). Their scoops are also HUGE!

Museums
Learn all about the animals in the area. This place is very kid friendly. They have a scavenger hunt with prizes if you finish. They also have classes for kids. The boat launch is also right next to their dock. Since it’s 12 houses from the house it’s easy to get to (walk, drive, boat, kayak) and a perfect place to check out if you arrive early.
