Seasonal Slip Rental

[Sportfish1850]

Its been a few years since I spent much time up at Mille Lacs. I'm a multi species fisherman thinking about putting my boat on a slip in Mille Lacs this summer. Anybody have any recommendations for a protected harbor/marina with good reliable lake access in a family friendly resort that won't break the bank to float my boat ?

Its not essential, but it would be a great added bonus if the place you recommend has decent overnight accomodations for those once in a while 1 or 2 night stay overs. Even if there is a clean motel near to the harbor/marina where I dock the boat, it works for me.

Thanks guys for any input.

rented a slip from mac's twin bay last season if i remember right it was 325 for the season. electricity to each slip and a great bar/restraunt.

Thanks bojangles, two other questions...1) did Macs charge you for in and out use of the boat ramp or did unlimited launching come with the slip? 2) Do they have a protected harbor area ? Thanks.

Sportfish,
Twin Bay has a nice harbor. Also seems pretty well lit up at night.
If your a "SMALLIE" guy this is the place for you!
Not sure about any motels though. There is one in Wahkon.

I go with this guy keith, 320-495-3637, by wahkon, hidden bay, protected, good place, give him a call.

Thanks jgboomer, I'll give him a call and check it out. Most of the places that are resort / marina combos recommended on here or that I found with some online research were full for this season and had waiting lists. Had about given up hope of an in the water place to keep my boat this summer.

Garrison creek marina is preaty nice and never seems to be full, its protected and has a roof. I think they sold all of the condo's right next to the marina but we used to stay there sometimes, theres also Bobs trailer park where you can camp, Birchwood resort, and a hotel down the street.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I was able to secure a spot in Macs yesterday. It was a few bucks more than some of the other places but it was also one of the few with an opening, a protected harbor off the main lake (not just a break wall) and I like having electricity available at the doc.
