Parks & Nature
Free to get in. Curvy (at times scary!) road winds up the side of the mountain to get there. Beautiful park with walking paths, hiking up the mountain, waterfalls, and also tennis and disc golf. The movie "The River" was filmed here.

Parking is a bear to do at Bays, but well worth it if you like hiking, seeing animals in their natural habitat, riding a barge on the reservoir, and more. It cost $6.00/car to get in, with a few $$ to do some of the activities ($2-6.00). Walking around and seeing the animals is free. (I usually have a free pass - if you want to use it, just ask if I forget to tell you!)
