waterfront restaurants
If you enjoy spending a sunny summer day on a restaurant patio, then check out Guadalaharry’s Tex-Mex restaurant on Dow's Lake. Kick back with a cold beer or a margarita and
munch on nachos while gazing out on the water. The food is affordable, the servers are cheery, there's lots of laughter
and there’s free parking at the lot across the street.
