Wooded mountains form the background of spring-fed, crystal-clear lakes ideal for swimming, canoing, boating, sailing and ice-boating. Our mountains provide skiing in winter and hiking year round. Cross-country ski from your back yard or choose to snowmobile on hundreds of miles of groomed trails. Our famed Lakes Region, with its picturesque colonial villages, offers a look into the past with a pleasant mix of local families, retirees and seasonal home owners - where people can meet at the Post Office and catch up on the local happenings. Restaurants to satisfy all tastes and interesting shops are readily available and fun to enjoy.

Ours is a relaxed, friendly area offering a unique opportunity for the good life - a great place to raise a family, vacation with friends or to make your year round home in communities with excellent public and private schools, libraries, professionally accredited hospitals and medical care facilities.
