Rachel has a wide selection of seafood, sides and catering options. On the weekends, there's a selection of delicious sandwiches which can be ordered up — but be patient, this ain't no fast-food joint! Some basics like bread can be picked up here. We've order paella ingredients for making at home.

Take a walk on the wild side. This is a great walk through the majestic woods. Follow the trails to the river and beyond. We like to park at the north entrance along Warren Woods Rd. and enter from the under-the-radar trail there. Looks for the parked cars along the road or kept your eyes peeled for the trailhead.

Follow this road to the lake and you'll find our small, charming public street-end beach. Parallel parking is allowed here along the road, just be respectful of the neighbor's driveways and other beach-goers. Lately, the beach has been quite shallow but it changes every year. If you go on the early side, you'll get good shade from the trees.
