Anyone know where I can get some good lake maps (for contour and navigation) for Rainy Lake? Am heading there this summer and need to find the hot spots and make sure I don't hit any of those rocks!! smile

Contact Woody's. They have or had a laminated set of maps that stretched from I-Falls out to the East end. It was a 7 piece set if I remember right. They cost in the neighborhood of $35.00 several years ago. I not sure of the cost today.

I have the chip but I wouldn't leave the dock without the laminated set in my boat. It doesn't matter if this is your only trip to Rainy or if you go every week, this is the "must have" map for the lake IMHO.

Go luck on your trip and have a great time!!

I don't know if you have a GPS or not. If you do, make sure you buy the new Lake of the Woods chip. It also includes Rainy Lake and the Rainy River.

If not, buy the Lakemaster map for Rainy. L&M might have it.

I don't think Lakemaster has published a paper map for Rainy yet? Their new LOW/Rainy chip is awesome.

THe maps and chips will help, but there is a reason it is clearly stated "not for Navigation " on both. Do not loose your common sense when on Rainy or your trip will be very expensive. There are countless --and always will be things that "are not on the map" good luck

      Heading up to LV a week from today with the kids. Any advice for us? Staying on the West side but open to traveling if the weather permits.   The way the last few weeks have gone, might stay for good!!!

      Do have Wi-Fi in your house. Your going to need that to work with any of the cameras that send a signal and video to your phone.  Hardwire is the best but battery power workers well for about two months then you have to pull them and recharge them.  It is nice to sit on a beach in Key West and keep an eye on your house when gone! 👌

      With all the craziness in the world I’m looking at getting an outdoor security camera setup for my home. Anyone have ideas on what works well without a huge cost  and easy to do . Or is it better to go with a company to set it up.  We have recently had copper thefts in the area at farmers fields and bin sites and I know it will only gat worse as these things always do. I probably want something that hooks up to my phone as well and wondering if there is a good one with either battery life or if wired is better. Any thoughts are welcome.

      Aren't they the ones that ran into problems about illegal bait? Anyone know how that turned out?

      You launch on Moose Lake to get to the motorized portage. It's called Prairie portage. To get to the portage you put in at Moose Lake. From Moose you go into Newfound Lake. From Newfound you go into Sucker Lake. On Sucker is where Prairie portage is. There is a dock on the American side and on the Canadian side there is big sign welcoming you to Canada. Latourell's Resort runs the portage and the cost for the portage is $40 for a round trip.

      Will that blond haired kid have that cool little orange boat in the show this weekend? Saw him driving around by Muskego Point a few times this summer.

      Nope, there are parts of Basswood that allow motors.   Entry is from Fall Lake, and there is (I think) a motorized portage.   It is really popular in the spring...
