Parks & Nature

These are great places to visit.
Adams County Parks & Recreation
2004 Bighorn Dr
Marina and boat launch in Adams county straight across on the other/east side of the lake. If overnight docking your boat, try getting their last pier spot available (later in season if there is any algae bloom it doesn't make in in that far).
