"They’ve been serving up traditional, hearty breakfasts at The Pancake Shop since 1940. That tells you pretty much all you need to know. But if I must, everything is made to order, the locals are friendly, the pancakes are made from scratch, as is their housemade sausage, and cap it all off with frequent and fast coffee refills."

"Back in the day, the Fordyce Bathhouse was one of the town’s swankiest. It’s now a museum and visitor’s center that would be a great place to stop not long after you’ve gotten into town. The building has been restored to near original condition and includes many of the amenities that it featured in years past, like interesting, antiquated exercise equipment and therapy devices that purportedly relieved symptoms from a long list of ailments."

With dozens of miles of trails, numerous campsites and a host of other activities available to outdoor lovers, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that it’s one of the area’s most popular outdoor destinations. Amateur rock hounds are attracted by the huge vein of crystals that runs through the area, and hunters and fisherman are drawn here as well."
