it’s a cute spot, however we went there for tennis balls and they were all completely flat. tennis balls normally aren’t squishy, and when we opened the package one was already busted. we asked if they were meant for water use or if they can be played with on a court, which they responded that they could be, when we went to the court to use them, they didn’t even bounce. save your money

This outrigger is nice but terrible location for renting bikes at the trail is straight uphill all the way to glen arbor. Very disappointing. The staff didn't even mention the empire bluff trail which is actually closeby and doable without being an expert but I guess that's because no bikes are allowed on that trail. Also as you enter the biking trail their are disconcerting signs warning that the summertime is hunting season. :(

Went out of our way to check this place out, but it was closed 30 minutes prior to what it says online. Bummer! Please update hours.
