There are some nice trails for the walking of the dog. And what amazing timing given we had just yesterday listened to Aly Ward's Ologies podcast (the Bryology episode) -- the picnic shelters are beautifully moss covered. So there. Need to pee, drink, dog walk, snack or picnic? This is a fine place at which to do it. Thanks Indiana.
