Boat in campsites

[DaveZman14q]

I'm sure this has been covered numerous times so thanks for bearing with me!

Looking for a few good ideas/locations on where to do some secluded camping. I've done multiple trips on the St Croix and Mississippi but want the next trip to be on a lake (or a different river). Would prefer to boat to the campsite but would also be willing to hike in a bit and bring the canoe instead of the boat.

Are there any good lakes/locations within 3 hours or so of the cities here? I know there are a lot of good ones up north such as Voyageurs National Park, Bearhead State Park, etc... But my better half says that is too far.

Any ideas?!

There are some boat in sites in Cut Foot on Winni that are nice if that is close enough drive for you or I should say your wife

Are those sites pretty easy to find? Any idea if they will provide enough shelter if the wind picks up so I dont swamp my boat parked on shore?! Thanks!
