With seven parks, four golf courses, the state's only designer outlet mall, a winery, and two world-class distilleries, Shelbyville, Simpsonville, and Shelby County have plenty to keep visitors of every stripe busy and amazed.

Go boating, fishing, horseback riding, and swimming at Shelbyville/Simpsonville/Shelby County Parks. Play on outdoor sports courts and playgrounds. Challenge yourself at nine- or 18-hole golf courses, including a championship course and a Golf Digest 3.5 star-rated course.

Relax indoors or out on the beautiful grounds of a Shelby County winery or distillery. Sip at the tasting rooms, browse the gifts shop and enjoy live music by local musicians.
