Sentinal Rock State Park
Visit both the north and south end beaches. The north beach is the most popular because it’s the biggest stretch of beach. The south end has two beaches. The one by the boat launch is family friendly. The west south beach is a nude beach so not the best for children which is unfortunate because it’s the most beautiful beach.

You can walk to the north end of the trail from the cottage. Go left out of the driveway and at the stop sign go to your right. Trail will be on your left. It’s a steeper hike from the north end so if you want a more gradual hike then I suggest starting from the south end and if you can get a ride, hike the entire trail, and come out the north exit closer to the cottage.
