There are activities here for every type of leisure activity.
You can hike, hunt and camp in our forests and fish in our lakes. You can go

enthusiast, you will love a trip to this region. We do, however, offer outdoor
activities that are not for the rugged or adventurous at heart. If you enjoy
golf, tennis, or swimming, you'll find the Johnson Mountains have resorts that
cater to those activities as well.1
