SEASONAL RECREATION >> Summer (June – August) Where better to enjoy the lazy days of summer than on the shores and waters of Martin County’s 49 lakes? Enjoy scenic views from a boat, canoe or kayak, catch a fish or two, or up the energy factor with a spot of waterskiing. Water activities also beckon at the Aquatic Park in Fairmont, along with area swimming pools. Hiking, biking and golfing continue on from the spring months, as well as the opportunity for a round of disc golf.Fairmont has two, 18-hole disc golf courses – players throw plastic discs into a series of metal baskets – at Cedar Creek Park.

Fall (September – November) This is the perfect time to take in the magnificence and beauty of Mother Nature’s changing colors. Bright shades of green make way for red, yellow, and gold, creating a spectacular backdrop from which to enjoy fall activities. Pick up some sweet and juicy apples from one of two local orchards, or grab some cider or delicious homemade pies. (www.CenterCreekOrchard.com and www.TimberLakeOrchard.com) Go for a scenic drive around the lakes and into our surrounding countryside and parks, or head out onto the water to enjoy the pre-winter rays of sunshine. This is also a popular season for hunters, who travel to Martin County to take advantage of the waterfowl, white-tail deer and pheasants that gather in the region. You can also get some target practice in at the Fairmont Trap Club’s shooting range.
