Our parks are famous state-wide for their walking and biking trails and Horseshoe Lake boasts swimming in summer and skating in winter. Community and rec sports teams exist for all ages, and you'll always see pick-up games of soccer in the local fields.
Nestled between the forest and the mountains, we are a hotspot for bird watchers, foragers, and changing foliage. Check out our Wildlife Rescue to see what animals live in Horseshoe Lake!
We love local businesses. We encourage all our residents to buy local—and we make it easy for them to do so. Our community thrives when our local businesses thrive, and we do everything we can to support businesses new and historic alike.
