Lake Holcombe recreation area is a place for all seasons. Sping and summer is the time for fishing and recreation on the Lake Holcombe Flowage (approximately 3600 acres, with 120 miles of shoreline). The summer also offers plenty of opportunities to tour the 3400+ acres of public forest land, hike the Ice Age Trail, or go horseback riding in the county forest. Fall brings a beautiful display of colors, whether hunting or hiking in the county forests. Winter is the season for snowmobiling with access to more than 400 miles of groomed trails or riding on the lake.

In addition to the natural attractions, people gather in Holcombe for community festivals: The Polish Christmas Party and the Lake Holcombe Muskie Tournament.
