It is a magnet, drawing vacationers from around the globe. If you get tired of water play, there's golf and hiking just a short drive from the lakeshore and in winter, views of the lake reward cross country and alpine skiers and snowmobilers.
Fishing is open year round.

Both communities are launching points for uplake adventures at boat-in campgrounds and trail heads.
