Lots of places in MN. Find a muskie lake then see if there are any nice family friendly resorts or camp grounds. Lake Vermilion has got some nice ones and some of the smaller lakes have some cheaper family resorts. The Longville area is great as well. Little boy lake and Wabedo have some smaller resorts.

My vote would be the Bemidji State Park Camp Ground, lots of Family stuff to do and you can keep your boat in a slip so you don't have to worry about launching it every time you want to fish.

Leech and Vermilion would be 2 more great options if you want a cabin. Mantrap is another good one and Mille Lacs would be good too.

It's tough to give more precise reccomendations because I don't know your skill level, what size boat do u have, do u have gps with a map chip and do u want a week, weekend or day trip?

Big Detroit. Have a welcoming type community, lots of summer activities right there, plenty of swimming, beaches and things happening all summer, and you'll be on one of the fastest growing musky lakes in the state meaning the fish themselves. Theory is can't predict the wind and the weather so you'd have plenty of options of things to do if you can't get on the water, I'd steer clear of massive mille lacs or leech, even Cass can get ugly really. You hit the wrong weather and you won't be musky fishing with the family, not that DL is a small pond. If you're into a more scenic area though, the Little Boy area or Bemidji area would have that up north feel about it.

I would recommend the Detroit Lakes area Also. From the City of DL, you have 5 musky lakes within about 20 minutes of each other. One located in a gorgeous State Park. (Maplewood). There are Gators in Big and LIttle Detroit, Sallie, Pelican, Beers, and I have heard of them in Mellissa, though I have not tried to catch one there. And if it is super windy Beers is a small pond of a lake. And Big and Little DL have a couple nice bays to fish in the wind.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
