reinhard1 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I usualy fish in north of where i live here in Anoka County. not that familiar with lakes between here and Prior Lake. i have looked around on the puter but would like first hand ideas on lakes that have a park with a playground and beach and of course a good place to fish off shore between here and Prior lake and western Metro area. thanks. good luck.

simple1 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 You should look up Hyland park in Bloomington. It has an amazing system of parks and you can rent canoes. The main playground next to the lake is called shuts and laters and a blast for kids. There's also many picnic areas with a nice central building with concession stands and restrooms. Kids are going to love it and even if it's a little further than you want to go, it's worth the drive. Simple1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grum Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 +1 on the Hyland park in Bloomington idea, chutes & ladders is a blast!Here is a link to the DNR "Fishing in the Neighborhood program".http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/fishing/fin/index.htmlYou might find something closer.

BartmanMN Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Lake Rebecca in Rockford. One of the best playgrounds around. Beach, BBQ, and fishing pier. You can rent canoes and paddle boats there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheetah Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 If you find yourself around Hwy 36 and Lexington Ave, the city of Roseville has a fishing dock on Bennett Lake. There is a nice playground on that end of the lake as well as another playground on the east end. No swimming beach. Lots of people fish from shore around the lake, a paved walking path circles the lake, it gets really weedy by mid-summer. Plenty of small panfish in the lake, some decent bass, big carp and supposedly some catfish. Another lake with a dock and playground is on Lake Josephine just up Lexington Ave a little. There is a Dairy Queen across the street, a beach, and a boat launch. That lake is full of tiny perch, near shore is all about 5-6' deep.

Brad B Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 if you're open to the idea of the mississippi river instead of a lake with a nice playground I would check out Otsego county park. lakes with playgrounds around the Monticello/Buffalo area include Buffalo lake (stregous park ,downtown) Beebe Lake (Beebe regional park, has fishing pier), I believe Pleasant lake by Annandale has a nice regional park with playground and fishing pier.
