Great breakfast and lunch. Great for kids with a playground and farm animal rescue and beautiful grounds. Spend an hour browsing their nursery or rustic decor and toy offerings.

One of the only local public access points to the creek for swimming. This is car park and water access only and not a park. Minutes to Main Street Oak Hill (Yellow Deli). Public parking, but steep and in some places overgrown access to the creek. Water from several inches to several feet deep in areas. Parking near the corner of Clay Hill Rd and CR-22. If you’re an anxious person or parent, stick to CD Lane Park or Chicken Run Restaurant.
