Two ski mountains, one of the top Nordic facilities in the world, endless hiking and biking trails with not so bad views, world-class fishing, four golf courses, sweet tennis facility, a well done Core Trail, killer kayak and rafting rapids, all kinds of camping … sick longboarding roads…gnarly tubing … plenty of county roads to don your cycling tights…and a bunch of intramural sports and activities, etc. And I’m sure I missed a few recreational opportunities … we need a rec center about as bad as we need more rain.
