Bucks Ledge
Fun short hike with great views of the lakes and Mt. Abram.
In the summer, the bike park is a blast and it's fun to hike up the mountain. They have live music most weekend afternoons-evenings at the westside beer garden. Prices are fair. Atmosphere is fun. Pizza is our favorite in an area with not much good pizza ;) Fun ski mountain in the winter. Great apre ski at Loose Boots Lounge.
