In summer, the beaches, the lake, numerous hiking/mountain biking trails and there are several marinas along the East Shore. Fishing licenses are sold by local stores, and several also carry bait.
In the winter, the golf courses turn into x-c skiing areas – but please don’t ride your ATVs or snowmobiles on them, as they damage the turf. The back country is reached easily for deep powder.
