Got little ones?  Feeling young?  Jump on the slide or climb the monkey bars.  The only rules are be safe and have fun.  Open year round.

Walking Paths

There are miles of beautiful walking paths and trails in the woods and to the lake in DCH.  Some are paved, some are wood chipped and some are authentic (beaten down growth). All are relaxing and filled with beauty and soilitude.  The walk to the lake is a leisurely walk down, but a great exercise routine on the way up.  Lots of steps!
