Recreational Waters
Crystal clear waters tucked away in the mountains, Skaguay Reservoir is the perfect place to spend the day. There's plenty of trails to hike around the reservoir itself or head down below the dam to enjoy the Beaver Creek State Wildlife Area. Take your paddleboard and fly rods!!

Food scene
Legendary sandwiches, fresh baked breads, cookies and a desert case that will temp almost anyone. Try the peanut butter pie (think Reese's turned into a cheesecake) or the Bee Sting (traditional German cake). Unless you've got a huge appetite settle for the half loaf sandwich!
