Food Scene
The Ashfield Lake House is our local favorite. Its a biker bar, a family restaurant, and a music venue - it has created and nurtures a scene of its' own! With lots of windows and a big deck looking out over beautiful Ashfield Lake and yummy food cooked up by the chef/owner, it's definitely worth visiting.
