Alden is known for its flower-lined streets where everyone you meet offers a friendly greeting. Alden has several places to eat and Lakeview Ice Cream Shop has the best, biggest, ice cream cones you could ever eat. The town has cute boutique stores, a deli, family bar, tennis and basketball courts, and a park with a playground. Just at the end of the street is the public boat launch, library and community center. The popular Dockside restaurant is just 10 minutes away by boat or car.
