Baller A_B Posted April 11, 2012 Baller Share Posted April 11, 2012 Pelican Lake in Michigan. Some of the best wind protection around. It can blow 20 mph and you still get good water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detrick Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Going to be bias and go with my home site...Shortline Lake. I recently built a website for the lake and we have more pictures at - ShortlineLake.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller jipster43 Posted April 15, 2012 Baller Share Posted April 15, 2012 Ottertail Lake on a very windy day. The shoreline was re-graded this spring and should suck up the waves with the best of them. http://i632.photobucket.com/albums/uu45/jipster43/DSCN5032.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bogboy Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Yesterday I had the privilege of being invited to radar lake to ski and help with some spring course maintenance with Eddie, Richard, Sam, and Gary. Mrs O'Brien drove up to the dock on her John Deer utility vehicle while tending to their compound, and we had a nice chat. What a beautiful place!
