“A nice simple nature park and walking trail. It takes you along the edge of the river and across some train tracks, where you can take a detour to walk across a fairly high train bridge, which my kids agree requires tremendous bravery and is super awesome. The little ice cream place just up the street makes for a great natural resolution to a refreshing walk.”

“Located in the heart of Mitchell is a little gem of a restaurant where you are greeted with a smile and a warm welcome. Eatable food is hard to come by; everyone is always rushing for a quick fix.
But with free-range eggs, home-baked goods, and locally sourced items make this a worthwhile place to park yourself for a nice meal. Dine-in or take-out is available inside and outside. Oh, and try the pastries that are mouth-watering.
So come on by and sit a while…..and see you at the Sugar Maple.”
