Whatever the season, you'll find something to do in our neck of the woods! With dozens of lakes and miles of green forests it is a mecca for the outdoorsman and his family. Photo opportunities are everywhere for the camera buff. There is a variety of game including deer, elk, bear, mountain sheep and goats, cougar, partridge, pheasant and other game birds. The river and many lakes are a natural habitat for osprey, geese, duck, crane, heron and the mighty eagle.

A short 40 minute drive will find you and your family having the time of your life at Silverwood Theme Park ~ and if you're very brave, you might try a ride on TREMORS ~ the above & below ground wooden roller coaster.

For those who are a little less adventurous, a 40 minute drive in another direction will find you face to face with some "big kitties" at Cat Tales Zoological Park & Training Center. Let the kids pet & even feed the babies! You'll see cats ranging from the Bobcat of North America, to the mighty Royal White Bengal Tiger of India.
