There are two different food spots to grab some grub at Garner. For some amazing burgers and fries, try the Garner Grill which is open between Memorial Day and Labor Day each summer. The Grill is cash only, but there are ATMs located at the Grill. There is also a sweets shop with fudge, nostalgic candy, and ice cream to choose from for those with a sweet tooth!
play Mini-golf
If it's too hot to hike or too cold to swim, a family favorite is Garner's Stinkin' Sweet Candy Golf. Prices are listed on the website for this old-fashioned 18-hole mini golf course, which is also open at night!
