I don't have any specific lakes but if I had a kayak I'd be looking for some of the smaller lakes in your area.  Get on google maps and look for small lakes near you without a boat launch, then look to see if there are any workable carry in access points for you and your kayak.  You never know what sort of fishing you'll have in those smaller lakes.  It will probably take a little exploring to figure out which ones are good and which aren't but you should at least have the lakes to yourself.  

 

You can speed up your exploring by checking out lake maps at home on the Navionics app or other online maps you may find.  If you can find any sort of dnr survey that might help weed out some potential dud lakes.  However, it seems like bass tend to be under reported on most of the MN DNR surveys.  I'm not sure their methods work well for establishing accurate bass numbers so don't let that alone sway your decisions.

River falls is right on St Croix.   Sounds perfect to me.
