North Beach
Good large public beach on far side of the lake
Cliff jumping is a super fun activity you can access by boat headed towards north beach there is a band of cliffs in all sizes that are safe (depending on if you consider jumping off rocks into water safe) but easy to access by boat, you can access by road but a little more challenging, don't know the mile marker off-hand but head pass the seventh-day advantage church camp and you'll see a pull of randomly about 3 miles from the condos and walk down towards the lake.

Cougar Island visit
In your line of sight the Island in front of the boat dock is worth checking out, some fun little rocks to jump off of, and its be enough to get out and walk around with kids. Hide and seek, treasure hunt type games are always a blast.

Hiking out your back door
Behind the Tamarack Bay condos, there is a large biking and trail system worth checking out. From a good nature walk to picking huckleberries there is a number of things to do. You can find 5-6 miles of connecting trails right outside your back door.
