    Crystal Lake Park

    Stay for the golden light. The sun sets toward the WSW, casting a warm glow over the lake. This is the perfect moment to take in the evening atmosphere before it gets dark.

    L'Incontro

    Head back toward town for dinner. L'Incontro is an Italian restaurant open for lunch and dinner daily. It is a bit of a walk from the park, so you might want to check the route or take a short ride if available.

Local tip

The walk from Crystal Lake Park to L'Incontro is longer than the other stops. Plan for a leisurely stroll or check if there is a convenient way to get back to the historic district area.

Check before you go

  • Melanie's Seafood Company is only open for breakfast and lunch Monday through Friday. If you are visiting on a weekend, skip this step or go later.
  • L'Incontro is open daily for dinner, so it is a reliable option after sunset.
