With Father’s Day just around the corner, it’s a good idea to begin brainstorming ideas. You don’t want to end up with a last minute necktie again, do you? Here are five fantastic ideas to get you started.
1. Fishing
There are plenty of lakes to choose from in and around Canton. Just be sure to check for rules regarding fish species and sizes. You can find a great guide to fishing spots at the Hook and Bullet website.
If catch and release is more your thing, we have eight ponds to choose from here at Mill Creek Ranch Resort. Sit on the dock or rent a paddle boat and let the fish bite. The current record is 9.5 pounds – think you can beat it? Poles and bait are available at the RV Lodge, or you’re welcome to bring your own.
2. Golfing
There are are nearby courses to choose from, Twin Lakes Golf Course and Van Zandt County Country Club are both excellent courses.. It doesn’t matter if you’re new to the game of golf, or if you’ve been at it for years. Twin Lakes’ course features a beautiful landscape, with holes that weave through the twin lakes it’s named for. Head to their website for more information, or check out our guide to Canton for more options. Van Zandt Country Club is a par 72 course.
