When spring arrives, streams overflow as snow melts and rushes to the many lakes, ponds and rivers. Buttermilk Falls lives up to its name as churning waters bubble over its rocks. The forest floor becomes carpeted with wildflowers, mosses and ferns; and the mountains and hills are covered with a beautiful blanket of varying shades of green. Bears awaken and begin their search for food. Trout fishing becomes a major recreational activity, and the lakes come alive with geese, loons, and the magnificent bald eagle. 

By late November the lake begins to ice over and the mountain tops are capped with white. By Christmas the lake is frozen and everything is blanketed with pure white snow. the community begins filling bird feeders. Laughing children can be heard as they slide and skate. Cross-country skiers, snowmobilers, snowshoers, and ice fisherman gather in this winter wonderland.
