One of the largest man-made reservoirs in the US — the Winsor Dam area is a stunning, easy family walk with sweeping water views and frequent bald eagle sightings. The paved dam walkway is stroller-friendly; wooded trails beyond require sturdy shoes. No swimming permitted, but binoculars for eagle watching make this extra memorable. Free and open year-round; sunrise visits offer the best wildlife sightings.
