Brewery
(.03 miles away) A brewery with indoor and outdoor seating. They are known for their sours, but also have a variety of other styles. Our favorite is Codename Superfan. Most nights there is a food truck for dinner, and Tuesday and Thursdays they have special events. There is also music some weekends and televisions to watch any games going on.

They serve lunch on the weekends and brunch.

A great place to hike, run, bike, or simply stroll with miles of trails (rated easy). Located just across Baseline (Hwy 7) from our home. All four seasons bring a unique setting to the open space with bird migrations, chirping frogs, hunting raptors, tall grasses, snow covered prairies, and the local prairie dog colonies. Various stops along the trail system offer resting spots and learning kiosks about the local ecology and flora/fauna.
