Trout Lake is a 20 -25 minute walk away. It has a full walking, jogging track.
People swim in the lake over summer, but I would check to see that it’s safe to swim before heading in. Last year there was an algae bloom that restricted swimming.
They also have a Farmer’s Market on the weekend until October in the car park, where you can pick up fresh veggies and fruit.
