I recommend shoes that can get wet for these trails and many of the paths can be slippery with several stairs. Open year-round, but closed for high precipitation.

Brewery
This cute brewery is surprisingly tucked away and off the beaten path but worth the trip! My favorites are the Grass Roots and Stout. Their low key outdoor space feels like you're hanging at a friends house and a great spot to meet locals, breath in some fresh country air and/or play a game of corn hole. They routinely have a rotating food truck. Try the sloppy joe taco if it's available, just trust me! Open Monday-Saturday 10am-4pm. Closed on Sunday.
