The small town atmosphere makes it feel like home, and the close-knit community helps foster a sense of belonging. During the warmer months, there are many outdoor activities to enjoy, such as fishing and hiking in nearby state parks or floating down the Spring River. In the fall, locals flock to the local apple orchard for homemade pies and warm cider. Throughout the year, there are plenty of festivals to check out—from bluegrass music to barbeque cook-offs—and plenty of places to shop, eat, and relax. From its charming downtown streets to its close proximity to national parks and forests, Portia is an amazing place to call home.
