Lake Minnetonka. Mn
 
Thinking of taking a trip to this lake and wondered if anyone has any information. Are there speed restrictions? Is this lake friendly to performance boaters?

Tonka is where i do most of my boating. I have been there the last 3 Saturdays. There are 4 fun Bar/Restaurants on the lake and a popular raft-up spot called Big Island. There is a 40mph speed limit that I frequently disregard. I have gotten pulled over once for not slowing fast enough before a no wake zone, never for speeding. There are a good number of fountains, donzis, scarabs, bajas, and advantages out here with a couple cigs and nortechs, and a lot of cruisers, ski boats, and runabouts. If you need any more info, please let me know.

It's a great boating lake, I grew up on it.....launch ramps are a pain in my opinion.

Honk if you see a fat guy in a Magnum......:D

Save your time and come out to the St Croix

Where you hang on the Croix? I'm usually poking around between Afton and the boomsite north of Stillwater in my old formula.

I second that. Except for the no-wake zones, there is no speed limit on the St. Croix or the Mississippi Rivers. Lots of Bald Eagles out there, right now. Plus, Hudson, WI has lots of bars/restaurants.
