I’m pretty partial because Evergreen is home for us but one of our favorite weekend or summer activities is to visit Evergreen Lake in the center of town. There is a loop trail that will take you around the full perimeter of the beautiful little lake; the trail itself is really varied making it a fun adventure for littles - different sections are boardwalk, paved, and dirt with small beaches and turnouts to stop for a snack break. It’s also a very popular spot for kayaking and paddle boarding during summer months if you’re into that! During winter months, there is ice skating (weather permitting) and it can be fun to get out there and watch the ice fisherman as well.

On the opposite end of the lake from the lakehouse, you’ll take a staircase down to the bottom of the waterfall to Bear Creek below - if your kids love water, this is a great place to pop down to play. The “beach” is pretty rocky though so I’d suggest packing some water shoes!
