Outdoor Weekend Trips

Bear Creek is a beautiful, easy day trip. It's takes about 5 hours, and you can stop, eat lunch, swim, and enjoy the view from a large rock where you'll meet new friends! The kids will easily be able to kayak with their sit-on-top kayaks. We will paddle from Mill Creek to Rock Quarry paddling through several rapids, but none worse than a Class II.
