Trophy lakes is my favorite spot (i prefer to go there compared to the beach because no waves for my toddler). beach access is only $5, and you can also waterski, do cable park, disk golf and paddle board! there is always a cool crowd hanging out over there :) they also have the aqua park for kids 6 and up.

This place is full of history, and I encourage you to learn about it while there. They also have a petting zoo, poneys, donkeys, peacocks and in the spring this place is amazing with the azyleas blooming! looks like a painting from Monet! Look also for the butterfly garden and the little houses for kids to play.
