    $6 entry per car, but worth it. The beach is great and there's a couple trails to hike too.

    Long Lake trail is the best trail. No one really knows where it is at. The loop is 2 miles, best if you walk it clockwise.

    Our experimentation in global freezing can be done from this location subtly.
