What a great use of 91 linear acres. No more than 100 yards wide, the park runs along a small creek and offers remarkable insulation from the urban world beyond. Several miles of frisky trail roll through hardwoods and pines. Share the trail here with BMXers who like the quick rollers for acrobatic purposes.

Bittu AliThis kayak is amazing -by far the most innovative fishing kayak today. Think of an e-Bike crossed with a Pedal Drive Fishing Kayak. Powered by Minn Kota technology, the propulsion system seamlessly integrates your preferred level of electric assist with human propulsion.

Rich ChisholmWhen I needed a new super light family tent for a backpacking trip to the Tetons, this was the obvious choice. It has enough room and is super light and compact. During the trip, my family loved how easy it was to set up and I loved how easy it was to carry.

Rich ChisholmI just got these new shades and have been really impressed with how good they are for only $25. They don’t slip on my nose when I am running and are great for my commute on sunny days.

Bittu AliThe Jackson Knarr is more than a coastal Kayak Fishing machine, it also excels in any flatwater environment. The new Mark IV Flex Drive has been totally re-engineered, and the kayak has been stress-tested in some of the harshest environments and performed admirably.

Stewart KnightAn extremely well-designed bag. Easy to carry and stow with multiple large zippered pockets for separating gear. I’ve packed for a week in the Virgin Islands and a week in the Rockies with just this bag. It’s also good-looking luggage to boot!

Johanna BreedI love this pant! I’ve done everything with it from being on a plane for hours to hiking. I think the tapered cut is so flattering!

Rich ChisholmWith a brighter light and longer burn time than the nearest competition, I think it is the best value right now. This light is very durable and I can add a rechargeable battery pack in place of the AAA batteries if I want to later.

Rich ChisholmThis is a great carry-all bag for those little items you need but don’t have room in your pockets for. I like the over-built design even for something this small – will last practically forever. Detachable crossbody strap so it can convert to a belt bag is awesome!

StefkaA comfortable flowy pant, great for the office, traveling, and out on the town. And who doesn’t love an elastic waist and pockets?

Lee QuinnThis is my ‘go-to’ bathing suit, but you can really do anything in them, which is great!
Raleigh
Amy QuinnThis boot is so comfortable out of the box. I really like how it keeps my ankle and heel secure and in place without feeling constricting. I also like that the sole isn’t super stiff like a lot of boots I’ve tried.
