The Grand is a small, two screen movie theater. Tickets are very affordable ($6 for adults, $5 on…read moreMondays). So are concessions (Popcorn for $3-$5, candy at $2-$4). While the theaters aren't super "state of the art" or anything, the seats are very comfortable and the projection quality is good. The building seems pretty clean for a movie theater, and a little of the fun historic theater vibe carries through today. The service was friendly. Overall, this is a pretty great place for an outing to the movies.

There are two areas in this park to hike meadowbrook and bonanza. We hiked short trails in both…read more Meadowbrook was mostly a trail cut into a field. It had some nice wildflowers and butterflies to check out along the way. As it was only a mile, it was a nice way to stretch the legs. The hiking club trail is at the bonanza area which is about 11 miles from Meadowbrook. It's a walk along the lake which takes you to a small waterfall which is colored red from the iron in the water. We saw several deer, a turkey family, and a few frogs along the path. Nice hike. The gentleman in the visitor center was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area.

We are prairie fans!!! Loved the hikes. (If you like the prairie setting visit Blue Mound.)

We had one of the few electrical sites. Park wasn't busy. This place is a secret?! There was a boat landing and parking lot adjacent to the campground. This is a fishing lake. Didn't see any water sports or even any swimming. As big as the lake is, it has a pond feel near the edge with algae and weeds. We still went in at the little beach area. Call us HOT and desperate. We found there was a big spring area in the water where it was literally freezing. I have felt cold spots in lakes before, but this was a big area where you could walk or stand on sand that was as cold as ice. ReFreshing! The staff comes by a couple times a day if you have questions. Otherwise there is a building with some tshirts and smore sticks where he hangs out.

Other than breaking my wrist on my most recent visit here this summer (oops), Mellette Hill is a…read moreplace of many fond memories from my childhood. We used to play all day on "the hill" - riding bikes, playing hide & seek, sledding in the winter - you name it, this was the ultimate outdoor playground for the entire neighborhood. Oh, and when you do break your arm like me - the ER at the hospital is just up the street! Maybe this is why parents are allowing more video games vs. real life experiences. Real life can be dangerous. But it also leaves some great lasting memories...

Definitely impressed! I've always enjoyed eating here because the view is beautiful (overlooks Big…read moreStone Lake), but this was my first time eating here as a vegetarian. Service was spot-on and attentive and they were completely responsive to all our requests. Our food came quickly and we were checked on frequently. The menu did not really include any vegetarian options, but I ordered the taco salad sans meat and requested for them to add green peppers instead. Bingo! I loved it. It was very flavorful and had a variety of textures. Salsa and sour cream were included on the side. The crispy tortilla shell--which is often the true test of quality and freshness--was delightfully crisp and delicious. I've had my fair share of stale and sad tortilla bowls, but this one passed the quality test. Bravo! Would love to see more creativity on the menu! C'mon, Ortonville-BSC eateries, take some risks! :)
