Which lake would you live on?

[Ron]

I've found a few places on Leech and one on Cass that seem to fit my lakeshore needs. Which lake would you live on and why? Thanks!

Leech, hands down!

I have been to over 200 lakes in MN and that is my favorite. I like the proximity to bigger cities (Not too far and not too close) and yet the small towns are nice with great cultural and social activites. The people are great, the lake is intersteing and offers a wide vairety of activities including sailing, fishing, duck hunting and swimming. Love the pines and mixed hardwoods and state/federal parks. What more could you ask for? Except cheaper taxes! :-)

Someday!

Without a doubt it would be Leech. AquaMan about said it all.

Buying property on a Native American reservation doesn't bother you? One end of Leech is outside the reservation.

Properties are not on reservation land.

I live on Leech during the Summer and fall months. I couldn't think of a better lake to live on. Enough water to maintain your interest and a great fish population. The City of Walker is small enough to maintain charm and big enough to supply you with all your needs. An easy choice.

Good luck, Murph!

I sold my boat and its new home will be Leech lake. Tracker Targa 2000 blue with gold accents. I will miss her and I hope all you guys will stop and give her a pat on on the nose. :'( (Sounds like a nice place to be though) JC

Leech, without a doubt!!! That lake has it all.

To keep it interesting, I'd like to live on a lake with a river or two running thru it and six feeder creeks. There would be rocks, rapids and waterfalls. It would have to have a multitude of various depths, structures, vegitation and fish species. It would be very large and have a rugged shore line. There would have to be dams above and below that could retain and spill water in a random manner. You could fish a lake like that forever and never figure it out fully. You could use every type of presentation known to man and still get skunked. You could spend 11 hrs. just to find the fish. In the morning, they'd be gone and you could start all over again. Imagine a tournament on such a lake?

Your physical description fits Lake Erie to a great extent -- follow the river out and you get Niagra Falls. Go "upstream" and you could run all the way to the Soo Locks (and falls of Ste. Mary). Take the Welland Canal and you can head to sea via Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence. Turn south at the Straits of Mackinac and you can go to Chicago, the Illinois Canal, and on to the Mississippi and the Gulf of Mexico. You have a lifetime of exploration and fishing with every imaginable type of shoreline from wilderness to urban.

Incidentally, with a canoe you can reach the Gulf of Mexico from a Leech Lake homesite. Couple portages and a couple dozen locks and dams, some 1800 miles, and you're there.

My vote goes to Leech also.
1) Great fishing for almost every species
2) Great variety in structure
3) Tons of water to fish
4) Can always find a quiet spot
5) AWSOME duck hunting to boot!!

Is there any doubt where the next WC/MN "gathering" should be?
