This full-service community includes parks, campgrounds, tennis courts, a swimming pool, a nine-hole golf course, motels, restaurants and more. For outdoor enthusiasts, the nearby Shadehill Recreation Area provides 100 miles of shoreline with excellent fishing, hunting and camping. The area is rich in upland and big game hunting.
