A master-planned community, Auburn Bay itself, was transformed from a wide-open prairie to a peaceful lakeside neighbourhood. All year round residents can be found down at the beach, barbecuing all through the summer and enjoying activities like ice skating, hockey and ice fishing during the winter months. The official symbol of life in Auburn Bay is the classic Adirondack chair.
