Winters can be chilly, but if you like the snow and all the activities that come with it like sledding, skiing and snowball fights this surely is a winter lover's wonderland dream! Fall is absolutely beautiful with so ...Read More many colors displayed from the changing of the tree leaves, especially in the sunset. It's a site that you really need to see!

We are truly blessed here with some fantastic restaurants in this town no matter what type of cuisine it is that you are in the mood for. My favorite is Mexican food and I am lucky that we have such a variety to choose from!

Of course the main attraction's here is the Beaver Dam Lake and the Beaver Dam River. The town itself is named after a beaver dam that was built in a stream under the river. Both the lake and the river are truly stunning to visit, take walks near, and view nature! Read Less
