A trip to the marina will allow you to go boating, either with a canoe, kayak or rowboat. You can also go fishing in a fully stocked lake. In fact, the lake is sometimes so full that when you cross the short bridge to the floating marina office, there will so many fish swimming around that the water is in constant movement. If anyone attempts to feed them, as kids sometimes do, it will incite a frenzy.
