     Why not take a refreshing hike along the Volo Bog Interpretive Trail, and there's some exciting stuff to catch a sight of at Lake Linden Dam right next door to Lake Potomac. Hiking is a popular thing to do around Lake Potomac; Tamarack View Trail is a delightful local trail, and while you're here you can play some golf at Renwood Golf Course. This lake is so wonderful.
