Probably best to do MapQuest or something....I can think of at least two different routes from the cities north that each depend on a lot of variables. Both end up on Hwy 371 in Brainard. Once on 371 North follow it to Hackensack and make right on Cty Rd 5 (Swanson's Bait and Tackle on left on corner) and it will take you right to Longville. There is a shorter route but much more of a hassle and 45 is a nice road.

This is how I go to my lake home in Longville.

Follow freeways to Rogers and head north on 101

to Elk River. 101 turns into 169 and continue north

to Garrison. Turn left at the Y steak house in

Garrison and that will take you to highway 6 and take

highway 6 into Deerwood and Crosby. Continue north on

highway 6 to highway 7. Highway 7 only turns left and

longville is about 17 miles from there.

Good place to eat is the Bungalo in Emily or Deerhaven

wich is 1/2 mile south of the highway 7 turn.

Longville is 90 minutes from Garrison.

Steakhouse in Garrison is not bad either - Witts End. You can order it grilled or grill it yourself - they have a bunch of seasonings, etc. as well. You pick the cut.

now that we are talking eateries along the way how about the rib joint out of crosby on 6 right after the Mississippi River at 6 and cty rd 11? Anyone ever eat there? I have been meaning to make a stop and eat there but am always in a hurry to make to the cabin to stop.....

More food talk. Excellent. I don't see many cars at the rib

joint, so I have never stopped. A friend of mine didn't like it.

I will have to stop next time and give a report. The Bridge has good

Sunday Bloodies and Burgers. The Village Inn in Outing has good

broasted chicken. They used to be on my cell phone for a pickup order.

DeerHaven has excellent BBQ ribs and prime rib. The Narrows in Outing

burns my burger every time. Too bad the Wabado Inn closed.

I turn at the Bridge Tavern at 11 and 6 and go to Cross Lake and I usually get to that area at about 7-8pm Friday and the rib joint often has a packed parking lot at those times so I figured it must be pretty good......going up that route though the Deer Stand in deerwood is pretty good for food and the resteraunts in the Cross Lake area are pretty decent and I have eaten at the Bungalo more than a few times and always enjoy my food there.....otherwise I tend to eat at the golden arches in Garrison....blah

The Deerstand is closed but it was a pretty good place to eat. We stopped there in mid July and it was closed then, not sure what happened...

I agree with Heidi on these directions

I like the food at Deer Haven - The cheap route is the baskets (walleye sandwich or fried chicken)

      Boy this wind is something. I was going to go deer hunting for the early doe season but the wind is a little strong.

      My electronics often say that I am on land when I'm on the water. Trust is a two-way street!

      What did you catch that furry one on, a special flying lure?

      Fishing is still pretty good.  Went with a friend and the dog yesterday for about 5 hours, managed 19 largemouth and 10 pike.  I normally don't take photos of pike but several of these fish were on the larger side and quite thick so they made the cut.  One of these days my fishing season is going to be over but for now the fish are still cooperating.

      On our fall trip, we saw many examples of downed trees on Pine Island. Small trees being cut with chain saw and piled. Any insight on project?

      On the South End...  Fall fishing on Lake of the Woods is excellent right now.  The colder water temps have the fish snapping.     Walleyes and saugers are being caught in a variety of locations across the south shore from 20 to 27 feet.  Water temps are in the low to mid 50's. Jigging with frozen, or live emerald shiners is catching a pile of fish.  Anchor up and jig over the side of the boat.  Typically, lots of small fish to sort through but you will get your keepers along with some larger walleyes. Jig colors to consider are gold, glow white, glow red, chartreuse, orange, and pink.  Gold combined with any one of these colors is often a good choice.   On the Rainy River... The river continues to get better and better with more walleyes moving in each week.  Good fish being caught in many sections of the river.  The morning and evening hours have had the best bite. Walleyes are actually being caught using three methods.  Jigging with frozen or live emerald shiners, pulling spinners and trolling crankbaits.  15 - 25 feet of water has been the norm. Sturgeon fishing continues to pick up as the water cools.  The "Catch and Release" sturgeon season is in place right now.  The river holds a myriad of species of fish.  Crappies, pike, smallmouth bass, suckers, bullheads and even an eelpout or two are being caught up and down the river.   Four Mile Bay is also holding some nice walleyes as they make their way in from the lake.  Various areas on the edge of the current and channel break are good spots to begin. Up at the NW Angle... Another great week of fall fishing up at the Angle.  Walleyes are keying in on various areas with structure.  Points, neck down areas with some current and transition areas from rock to mud are good right now. Walleyes are the most sought after but in the fall, lots of muskie and crappie anglers are around as well.  Good reports on a variety of species including jumbo perch and pike as the waters cool.      Put on some warm fall clothes, make sure your camera is ready and make some incredible fall fishing memories.  There is still time to get in that last fall trip.
