Rollins Pond should be at the top of your list if you like canoes, rowboats, or kayaks. All are available for rent at the boat launch livery site, and this long, narrow body of water provides the ideal setting for days of fun, as you take turns on all of them. Adventurers can canoe the waterway leading to Fish Creek or try their luck fishing in Whey Pond, adjacent to the livery area and stocked with trout. For landlubbers, there's hiking, bicycling, and picnicking.
