Would anyone be willing to give Forest Lake a try?  It's easier for me to pull my rig there with a small truck, and it's goign to be my first water trial.  Pretty good size with the 3 joined lakes as well...

Thoughts?

I posted this in the "Lisa's new ride" thread, but will here as well.

I'd be happy to go to Forest Lake. I've never been but it's my boat's home lake as the orig. owner and the guy I bought it from lived just a few blocks from there.

It'd be fun to explore a new area and we'd get to see Brian's new toy!

I never have been on that lake, is there a place to beach, or go for lunch?

I have a buddy with a '76 Ski Natique that might come out too.

I'm not sure what's there for beaches.  I'm sure that we could find something.  I've never been there either, but I have some co-workers that have lakeshore.

Maybe your co-workers would know of good public access as well. The main public access in Forest Lake proper looks like it only has maybe 10 trailer spots at it.

If there are no public beaches to pull the boats up to we could always just get some bumpers out, lash the boats together into our own little island and have a picnic lunch.

I've searched a couple times and don't think there's a public marina or dockside restaurant.

Maybe your co-workers would know that as well Brian. Sorry, not to pressure you or anything!

Yea I only see the one ramp too with 10 parking spots. I have heard good things about big marine lake too which is close by to you Brian. They look to have a nice big park, ramp, parking, ect.

We usually do Square Lake with the family and Big Marine isn't that much farther. I've never been to that one but it'll work!

Big Marine is a great fishing lake, they have a park on the south side that you can beach at, you can launch there too, but that costs and additional $10 (I think).  There is another ramp on the north side of the lake that is free.  The lake is largely undeveloped with the park on the south side and a girl scout camp on the North East.  It is however pretty weedy.

Forest Lake looks like it has 3 launches the park off 61 looks nice if we can beach/launch there.

Bald Eagle is another one to throw in the ring.

Thanks for the link Brian, it looks like the Hagberg launch (lower right side of the lake) has 28 trailer spots. That may work:

I'm up for any of the choices. What time do we want to head out?

Have they made the river no wake yet? or did we decide against that.
I think this has become an addiction.

It looks like I might be out, a good friend of mine called yesterday in a panic that his cabin outside of Cloquet might be flooded, turns out it was.  His cabin looks like it took on about a foot of water, He's missing his fishing boat, his dock and had a whole lot of cleaning to do.  The worse part is he just finished remodeling after the darn thing flooded a few years ago due to a busted water main.  

He sent up the bat signal about 2:30 this morning looking for help so I'm going to go up and see what I can do.

The majority of the group is pointing to one of the lakes up around Brian since it's his first time out in the new boat, but we haven't decided on which one yet. Big Marine was the last suggested.

So Hagberg Launch on Forest Lake at noon sound good to everyone? Or if some want to go out earlier I suppose we could just make sure to come back to the launch at noon to meet up with the full group.

Kind of like how we did it at White Bear a couple weeks ago.

Sounds good Brian.

I was thinking between 11 and 12 so that will work great.
