The town’s picturesque landscape is complemented by recreational treasures like the Rails to Trails bike path, where residents and visitors jog, cycle, or stroll along scenic routes rich in local greenery. For families, Great Hollow Lake offers summer swimming and fishing, while neighboring Webb Mountain Discovery Zone invites all ages to explore miles of nature trails through peaceful woodlands. Seasonal events at the Edith Wheeler Memorial Library and town green foster a strong sense of community, and the annual Strawberry Festival is a highlight for many households.
