Stumbled upon this awesome trials/petting cows,,/feeding cows, don't know who they belong to but Mitzi was hungry so I took out my pocket knife and helped her reach the stuff she couldn't. She was my friend until a neighbor came by with a bag of carrots then I was chopped liver BTW MITZI is the cow

A nice open green space adjacent to and overlooking the harbor. Dog and cow friendly! Also a nice connector for bike paths. Starting off by the church on Frederick and walking down to the harbor and lighthouse makes for great walk with lots to take in.
