    The best way to spend summer is definitely in the sun—with friends, music, and good food. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of events to get you started on just that! Don’t forget, this is the season to get outside, let loose, and enjoy the day!

    Eagle Island State Park

    Eagle Island State Park is a prime location for recreation all season long. From their tubing hill in the winter to their water slide in the summer, there’s always something to do at Eagle Island! With their new renovations in place, this year is guaranteed to be better than ever! So hit the trails, relax on the beach, and take on the disc-golf course.
