Not a water person? No problem! The entire Sugar River watershed has wonderful trails just begging for exploration and adventure. Set-up camp so you can stay a while and try and see it all, or come for the day to poke around some of our best-known destinations. Keep track of all the wildlife you see and don't forget to take photographs and send us some via email! They could end up in our Photo Gallery so tell us where and when you took your photographs and add your name so we can give photo credit. Too, you can post them on Facebook—we'd love to hear from you.
