Guidebook for Townsend
Food Scene
Small but popular "Mom and Pop" restaurant open March through November. Everything is good including homemade pies and cakes, but burgers and giant grouper sandwich are incredible! I haven't had better grouper at the coast.

This 11 mile loop travels through the largest valley in the national park highlighting old homes, churches and settlements. It is the best place to see wildlife (deer, turkey and bears) in the park, especially shortly after sunrise or before sunset. Because it is very popular it can become a parking lot on summer weekends. 30 minutes from the cabin.
