AND LIVE, ALL YEAR ROUND<br />
SUMMER (JUNE – AUGUST)<br />
Where better to enjoy the lazy<br />
days of summer than on the shores<br />
and waters of one of Martin County’s<br />
many lakes? Enjoy scenic views from<br />
a boat, canoe or kayak. Catch a fish<br />
or two on your fishing boat or one<br />
of our many, public docks. Local<br />
area swimming pool facilities can be<br />
enjoyed by adults swimming laps or<br />
kids playing. Check out the amazing,<br />
Fairmont Aquatic park! Hiking,<br />
biking and golfing continue on from<br />
the spring months, as well as the<br />
opportunity for a round of disc golf.<br />
Fairmont has three, 18-hole disc golf<br />
courses – players throw plastic discs<br />
into a series of metal baskets – all<br />

conveniently located at Cedar Creek Park. On the Fourth of July, witness the dazzling firework show over<br />
Lake Sisseton. Don’t forget to witness a summer sunset over one of our many lakes!<br />
SEASONAL RECREATION<br />
FALL (SEPTEMBER – NOVEMBER)<br />
This is the perfect time to take in the magnificence<br />
and beauty of autumn’s changing colors. Vibrant<br />
shades of green make way for deep reds, warm<br />
oranges, and gold, creating a spectacular backdrop<br />
from which to enjoy fall activities. Pick up some<br />
sweet and juicy apples from one of two local<br />
orchards, or grab some cider or delicious homemade<br />
pies. (www.CenterCreekOrchard.com and www.<br />

Go for a scenic drive around the lakes and<br />
into our surrounding countryside and parks, or<br />
head out onto the water to enjoy the pre-winter<br />
rays of sunshine. This is also a popular season<br />
for hunters, who travel to Martin County to take<br />
advantage of the water fowl, white-tail deer and<br />
pheasants that gather in the region. You can<br />
also get some target practice in at the Fairmont<br />
Trap Club’s shooting range.<br />
