Cozy and Quaint

Brandenburg Lake is a private, 75-acre area that does not allow gasoline engines, meaning residents can enjoy the lake peacefully.

The Hawthorn Mall has over 120 stores, perfect for a family shopping trip or a relaxing day out.

Brandenburg Lake is part of the Volo Bog State Natural Area, which encompasses 900 acres of wetlands, forests, bogs, and prairies. Visitors come here for hiking, stargazing, and wildlife watching.
