How the night flows

Do the lake walk first, in daylight (the county page gives no park hours, and this site plans it before dark), then drive about 15 minutes to dinner. Third Street Social's daily happy hour is 3 to 6 PM in the bar area only. Its prices are not posted as text, so the dinner cost is a planning estimate.
