Swimming

If you’re up to it, we recommend renting a canoe from Indian Lake Marina and paddling over to the cliffs on Clear lake. It's a great place to swim and there are various heights you can jump from. There are a few rope swings on the lower cliffs too. Plus they have great ice cream.

Cycling

If you are in to cycling I'd recommend that you bring your bikes because the trails around here are great for that.
