East vs. West

[DTro]

To me the whole lake is beautiful but...I think the back side of pine island is the best. It's like being able to have a boat in the boundary waters. Hopefully it won't get too developed, but I can't blame anyone for wanting to build anywhere on the lake.

I agree, the East side looks like a Canadian lake, while the west side is far too developed and looks more like a central Minnesota lake. But the whole lake is leaps and bounds better than any in the world. Lets keep it that way.

What side of the lake do you think is the most beautiful? I think the hands down winner is the east side and anyone who disagrees must be lost!

Since you mention building on the lake. Are there any plans in the future to expand building on the east side of the lake? Who owns the land on the north shore of the East Side?

Just curious if anyone knows the future plans for this land.

Hi Tom,
There are public meetings being held in
St.Louis county this spring to develope
a new land use plan for Vermilion.

Much of the undeveloped land on the far
east and north side of Big Bay, belongs
to mining interest.

It is hoped by many of us that the land will be kept in it's natural state. The
Lake Vermilion Conservation Association
and the Vermilion Sportsmen club, are very much involved in the process.

All the meetings are open to the public
and you can be heard. I urge anyone who
has an interest in the future of this
beautiful area, to attend the meetings.

The developement vultures are waiting to turn it all into a playground, just for the rich and famous. Let's all work
together to keep Vermilion the way she is.

The east end is more unspoiled due to less development, but it all depends on where you look I guess. If you compare Stuntz Bay to Norwegian Bay, well.......

612er,
The north side on the other side of pine is boundrey waters, as far as beauty, they are equal , east is over all more people, the, west is more protected from that, but any given day it all is nice and what a great place to work!!

Are you guys saying the Northeast side of Pine Island would be a nice place for a cabin. We have been looking for years and have found a couple cabins south of Matson Island around the point. Is this a nice area? Quiet? Good fishing?

Thanks

[garytheguide]

PSU,
That would be a real nice area to have a cabin, as usual eveyrwhere is close to decent fishing ...trout lake would be close also...you would also be protected from most winds most of the time except for that straight north wind, wich isn't all that often anyhow except in the fall...I do shorelunch back there a fair amount and I like it back there.Good Fishing!!

Hi PSU,
The Matson Island area is very nice and
quiet. It is in a roadless area just to the south of the BWCA.
Plenty of good fishing and that part of the lake is very beautiful.
