The town has many architectural delights like the historic Deerwood Auditorium and the Cuyuna region’s historic downtown in sister-city Crosby with many quaint shops. Vacation rentals such as cabins, houses and lodges enjoy proximity of the lakes and some lie on the shores of Serpent Lake or Bay Lake. There are public marinas to catch a boat ride and fish the plentiful northern pike and bass. You could also visit nearby Garrison for the big Mille Lacs Lake bounty of walleye fish. Golfers, too, will be pleased by Ruttger’s Bay Lake Golf or the Cuyuna Country Club.
Recreation apart, the town remains abuzz with fests and events such as the Deerwood Summerfest in August. Bask on the sandy lake shores; cross-country ski in the snow of winters; walk the historic downtown area and shop for antiques; or simply enjoy the sunset from the cozy confines of Deerwood vacation rentals for a lovely holiday retreat.
