Swimming/kayaking
Here are a few local spots to swim or kayaks.
Great little pond/lake up the road from Be Still Meadows. You can hike there on some trails through the woods too. Locals call is “Clubhouse”. Usually a quiet spot to cool off or to go for a peaceful kayak trip. Nice spot to fish too (with appropriate license). No designated swim area or lifeguards.
