Sightseeing
The Casselman River Bridge is pretty magical! If you park on the State Park side of the bridge and walk across the bridge, it takes you to the entrance of the Spruce Forest Artisan Village, which is AWESOME! (You can also park on the Spruce Village side) We went to see the bridge and found the Artisan Village by accident. So fun! Go for the day and eat at the Cornucopia Cafe. You won't be disappointed with this fun day trip.
