Spring Creek

This crystal clear river bubbles up from the ground about 7 miles from Collier State park. This is an excellent place to put Kayaks in.

The links below show you how to get to the headwaters on a forest service road. The creek also crosses the highway at Collier State Park which has easier access.

Clearwater Falls

The name says it all. The Falls on the spring fed Clearwater River only have a drop of 30 feet or so but how spetacular it is! While you’re there be sure to go to the top to check out the pool that feeds it.

Rodeos+Pizza.jpg

Rodeos Pizza

Pronounced Roe-Dee-Oh’s as in “This isn’t our first rodeo” as opposed to Rodeo drive (The way I thought it was pronounced) They make pretty good NY Style Pizza and to tell the truth It’s better than some Pizza I’ve had in NY. So, not the absolute best pizza ever, but definitely the best in town.

Hanayori Japanese Cuisine

I went there for lunch one day. As a typical Japanese restaurant It’s alright, maybe even pretty good. It’s authentic run by a Japanese man and his daughter apparently. The place is clean and the food is fine. I will go there again eventually. If you want Japanese, this is the place to go in KF.

Automotive

Lee’s Automotive

As their website says “Lee's Automotive is an automotive mechanical repair shop providing all routine maintenance, like oil changes, transmission services, coolant flushes, brakes and tune-ups, as well as any other service or repair you may need.” And I found that to be the case when I brought my car in for repair. My takeaway was that they were very professional.

Everclean Car Wash

Who wants to fool around with water in the middle of winter?Not me, so I go to this drive through. There are two locations in town. The best thing besides free vacuums is the monthly pass. For $20 a month you can go as many times as need to. That’s the best deal around.
