Water defines the local pulse, with the steady, quiet flow of Terrapin Skin Creek moving through the landscape just a mile from the center. Residents often find a moment of stillness at Crossgates Lake, where the water mirrors the shifting color of the sky, or find respite in the greenery of Shiloh Park.
