Protecting your skin while out on the water or taking a hike is a must! Make sure to pack plenty of sunscreen and wear a hat.

After a long day of excursions, you’ll need to quench your thirst. Be sure to supply yourself with plenty of water. 

If you’re interested in exploring some of our many hiking trails, you’ll need a pair of running shoes, protective gear, and bug spray. To avoid coming in contact with ticks stay on the path and don’t wander into long grass.
