The plan
Bring a picnic and make an easy afternoon beside the river.
Make it your kind of day
A little time outside can be enough to change the shape of the day. Decide on a comfortable turnaround point, bring what you need for the weather and give yourself permission to linger. The outing does not need to become a long hike to feel worthwhile.
Before you go
Pavilion activities and rentals are seasonal; do not assume skating rentals are available all year.
