Goshen residents cherish the scenic landscape all around them and want to maintain the rural character of their community and the quality of life it affords them. Most integral to Goshen’s character are the protection and management of forests, protection of water quality, active agriculture, and healthy, diverse and contiguous wildlife habitats. Residents seek to continue and expand upon the many forms of outdoor recreation found in Goshen including trails for hiking, snowmobiling and horseback riding, and swimming areas open to the public.
