I would say the Holiday Inn Three Bear hotel has the best water park my kids (ages 4-8). It may make a difference on how old they are, the HI has the big bucket and a smaller slide for little kids. I think it's the biggest. The Lodge has the best rooms available, and your can choose your holograph inside slide.

I think Holiday inn is more fun for younger kids (I have a 4 year old), more things to do for the little kids at Holiday inn. The big kid slides are a little better at the Lodge, but i would say overall I like Holiday in alot more. And comfort suites waterpark isnt as nice as holiday in or the lodge.

I have only been to the Lodge. We really had a great time. The two big slides are very fun and the little kids seemed to have great time playing in the shallower areas and smaller slides.

Holiday Inn has a lot more area for shallow water play for the little ones. I have been to both numerous times for my job and feel that the lodge is more geared to the older kids. They both are very fun however. The older kids I brought really liked the choose your own adventure halograms at the lodge.

Good luck, Either choice would be fun for your family.

We were just at the cabin last weekend (Nisswa) My son turned 6 on Friday, so we took him and his cousins down to the rapid river lodge (I think) Right behind Arby's, The Comfort inn confused.gif We didn't spend the night, just went to the water park. FANTASTIC !! Very clean, very friendly people, VERY affordable 10 bucks. (1/2 price next two the other two big ones) and it really worked great for younger (smaller) children. If they are 42" they have 2 slides to pick from, I believe the Holiday Inn and the one behind Famous Dave's they need to be bigger. They had shallower water also, which allowed more varity for the little guys (slides, bridges and such)!! That place gets my vote !!! That is a good way to pass the time with the family for sure and they serve BEER grin.gif!!!

JASON--- Ice ? We have a spot on Hubert, I see ya ALL the time up at the shop (My little guy and I are always in there) I hope you and the new addition had a GREAT turkey Day !

      I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:   JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th Brianf. – March 28th Bobberwatcher – April…. MikeG3Boat – April 10th SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st   Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.

      Sturgeon Fishing is Hot

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the south end...   Lots of ice on the main basin, but it is definitely deteriorating.  Some anglers have been fishing the open water at the mouth of the Rainy River in front of the Lighthouse Gap.  The rest of the basin is still iced over. Pike enthusiasts caught some big pike earlier last week tip up fishing in pre-spawn areas adjacent to traditional spawning areas.  8 - 14' of water using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring has been the ticket.  Ice fishing for all practical purposes is done for the year. The focus for the basin moving forward will be pike transitioning into back bays to spawn,  This is open water fishing and an opportunity available as the pike season is open year round on Lake of the Woods. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. With both the ice fishing and spring fishing on the Rainy River being so good, many are looking forward to the MN Fishing Opener on Saturday, May 11th.  It should be epic. On the Rainy River...  An absolutely incredible week of walleye and sturgeon fishing on the Rain Rainy River.     Walleye anglers, as a rule, caught good numbers of fish and lots of big fish.  This spring was one for the books.   To follow that up, the sturgeon season is currently underway and although every day can be different, many boats have caught 30 - 40 sturgeon in a day!  We have heard of fish measuring into the low 70 inch range.  Lots in the 60 - 70 inch range as well.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  Open water is continuing to expand in areas with current.  The sight of open water simply is wetting the pallet of those eager for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th.   A few locals were on the ice this week, targeting pike.  Some big slimers were iced along with some muskies as well.  If you like fishing for predators, LOW is healthy!

      Early bird gets the worm some say...   I have it on good authority that this very special angler caught no walleyes or muskies and that any panfish caught were released unharmed.
