2016 Summer Bucket List
If you are spending your summer in Phelps or just visiting for a day or a week, we know you will be enjoying the many beautiful lakes in the area. We encourage you to Lake like a Local by fishing, boating, swimming, kayaking, tubing, and more to your hearts content on your favorite lakes, but don’t stop there! (Although when it comes to watching the fireworks this 4th of July, we really do recommend doing so from the lake!)
Our area has many other awesome summer activities that you don’t want to miss! Try one or try them all – we know you will have a blast!
