We have a national park in our backyard.

1:30 p.m. We rent my bike at Century Cycles. It “s the only rental place in town, and while it does have a shed full of bikes, it’s been known to run out on the weekends. Get there early (the shop opens at 10 a.m. on Saturday, noon on Sunday). Bikes are$7 per hour and are charged by the quarter hour after the first hour. Trailers and tagalongs available for rent, but they don’t offer bikes with training wheels.
2 p.m. Wildlife alert: We discover a snapping turtle buried in thes and up to his shoulders in the mucky water of Lock 30.
2:15 p.m. We’ve traveled 1.3 Stumpy Basin, aboard walk with sweeping vistas and a bench -- the perfect place for a snack.
2:20 p.m. The Boston Store area is as far north as we’re heading. Check out the art gallery in an old gas station, a canal way museum in the former general store and the ice cream shop across the street (and hit the restroom).
