IN Carlynton-Montour Summer 2020 | Page 4

FROM THE CEO Welcome to the summer issue of IN Carlynton- Montour magazine. There’s no better way to enjoy lazy days of summer than on one of the area’s waterways. Whether you enjoy the solitude of a quiet fishing spot or like to kayak and canoe down a stream with family, you have many options. Check out our article “Rollin’ on the Rivers, Lakes, and Ponds” for a list of nearby rivers, creeks, lakes and ponds—and all the water activities available. Another great feature of our region is its many parks. Our communities are rich with green spaces for recreation for the entire family. Not only does nature provide space for physical activities, but being outdoors is also good for your mental health, reducing stress and increasing happiness. Studies show that even 10 minutes in a park or urban woodland significantly reduces stress. Our parks also promote a better sense of community. It’s a place for families to picnic, ride bikes, fly kites or play pickleball. Also, don’t miss our Summer Events Guide. At press time, many of the events listed were confirmed for late summer but, due to COVID-19, be sure to check the websites for the most up-to-date information. Finally, be sure to read our special Real Estate Section for timely advice if you’re ready to buy or sell your home. Have a safe and fun-filled summer!
