And it’s easy to understand what draws so many tourists to our region, especially the natural setting and rich natural resources, including 435 lakes that surround a 35-mile radius of Pine River. The area hosts many annual events in all seasons, including Summerfest, Lakes Bluegrass Festival and Cass County Fair in the height of summer, Fall Festival in autumn, the Parade of Lights to welcome winter, and a popular farmers market to celebrate spring.
