Things To Do

Four Season Outdoor Adventures... In Spring, Summer, Fall...
Hiking trails take you to secluded fishing ponds, waterfalls and Green Mountain for a private day of adventure.
Swimming at Minerva Lake closeby by car... A pristine lake with a swimming beach, tennis courts, basketball courts, covered pavillion picnic area, summer snack bar. A great place to cool off after a long hike or bike! Turn your car around from the trailhead parking and drive 1.6 miles on John Brannon Road to Longs Hills Road. Right on Minerva Beach Road to get to the lake. http://www.irishtown.org/minerva.html
