Sightseeing
If you need an escape, Pinecrest Lake is a great day trip! The lake is drained in the winter, but it is great in the spring and summer. Located in the mountains to the east it has a beach area, snack bar, and you can even hike around the lake. It will be busy in the summer. So leave early!
