Lincoln County has something for everyone. Hunting and fishing opportunities abound along with splendid opportunities to see and interact with wildlife. Try invigorating wintertime sports such as downhill skiing, snowshoeing, cutter racing, dog sledding,  snowmobiling and cross-country skiing just to name a few. Summers offer white water rafting, hiking, biking, and camping.
With moose that hang out at the golf course, and deer that feast on lawn grass and rose bushes, any time of the year is perfect for wildlife viewing.
Fossil Hunting is a great summertime day activity for the kids and adults alike.  Schedule a day trip with one of the local businesses specializing in digging fossils.  Spend the day "Fishing The Layers Of Time" for 50,000,000 year old fossil fish, turtles, plants and many other ancient wonders.  Keep the fossils you find and amaze your friends back home.  It's easy and fun, be sure to bring plenty of water though, it can be hot and dry on the fossil beds.
