A great deal of commerce passes through Bennett via U. S. 53 as well as the trackage of the Canadian National Railroad. Hunting, fishing, snowmobiling and 4-wheeling are popular in this community with a major recreational trail corridor running through the community in the Wild Rivers Trail.

We are as well, blessed with the many community service-minded men and women who comprise the Bennett Volunteer Fire Department and provide fire protection and first-responder service for this community and mutual aid to the surrounding communities.  Two of the major fire Department fundraisers, the Spaghetti Feed and the Flea Market have turned out to be amazing social events as well with folks coming from far and wide to attend.

Within the community, we have many skilled and professional people who lend their expertise in various way in service to the community. All in all, Bennett is a very nice community in which to live and get to know your neighbors.
