Don't miss the Gristmill
How could you! The Gristmill stands out as a blue building against the rest of the park. Walk around the structure to catch a reflection shot in the river, or take a photo against a blue sky to really capture the color!
This spot would be perfect in the freshly-fallen snow. For more snow spots, check out our guide.
The Gristmill is still operating, and you can enter it on the weekends! For more info, click here.
