Three-time world heavyweight boxing champion Muhammad Ali built his Deer Lake Training Camp here in 1972. After training at a nearby mink farm, he purchased this land on remote Sculps Hill to create his ideal training camp, calling it "Fighter's Heaven." Ali trained here through 1980 for some of his most legendary victories, including "Rumble in the Jungle" with George Foreman and "Thrilla in Manila" with his greatest rival, Joe Frazier.
