As each community grew, we continued to maintain that friendly small town atmosphere. The view from historic Holy Hill includes our gentle rolling landscape which was carved by glaciers. Inland lakes and woodlands complement our wide variety of recreational activities. Hiking, hunting, boating, fishing, golfing, skiing, and snowmobiling are among the many outdoor activities for sport enthusiasts. While trails abound with wild flowers and wildlife we also boast a variety of family attractions.
