I cant think of any thing I would rather be doing than spending a hot summer day with my family and friends on Leech Lake.  I have lived in Walker MN since 1996 and I still live here because of my love for Leech Lake.  For those of you who had not had a chance to experience boating on Leech Lake let me clue you in.  Leech Lake 111,000 acres and has many sand bars and islands that are available for you to pull your boat up to, grab the cooler, grill and waste a whole day.  Most people think Leech Lake is too big for them, but most of the lake is made up of different bays which mean there is a calm part of the lake to be found.  Once you decide which one of the many beaches to spend your day at grab the sun screen and a drink and the rest comes easy.  Sounds like a ruff day doesn't it?

 

Leech Lake has many resorts and restaurants to boat up to for gas or a meal.   The water is clean and no the lake is NOT full of leeches.   Only 1/3 of Leech Lake if privately owned the rest is state or Indian trust land.  That means for the size of the lake there is very low boat traffic.  Before you decide to purchase your lakeshore cabin or second home you will want to see what Leech Lake has to offer.
