La Ferme is my husband and my favorite local restaurant. Delicious every time. They have a turkey sandwich that is killer. Be sure to check out their website for pop-ups and special tasting menus too!

A perfect spot if you are looking for something more casual. Zorbaz offers pizza and Mexican cuisine with a full bar. With boat parking across the street, it’s the perfect place for a pit stop during a hot summer day on the lake.

Arrowwood is the perfect place to stay. They have lake access, golfing, restaurant and deck bar, a water park and multiple lodging options. The perfect place to enjoy lake life, but not too far from local shopping and dining.
