If you're a boater, definitely try to get onto Stonedam for a hike and picnic! It caters to only two boats at a time, so if you can, grab a spot. We've had the whole place to ourselves before. We loved eating lunch and swimming there! We recommend going very early or later in the day. Be sure to check out more information about the dock here: https://lrct.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Stonedam-Island.pdf
