     Going for a hike along the Silas Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this neighborhood; whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then, we recommend Fifteen Mile Creek. Looking for something near Lake Jenkins? Lake Edward Elliote Jenkins is in the neighborhood; Coolfont Resort is a tremendous place to get some rest. If you came to camp Cacapon Hideaway is a great place to do that, and hiking along the Gabriel Trail is nice fun.
 
   This lake is so wonderful. Sideling Hill Creek is a glorious local stream; probably you're looking for close by lakes? Sure, Lake Nesbit and Lanhan is just a very short distance away.
