From what I heard on the news it's supposed to be a pretty nice weekend.....so far that is. Is there anything special going on up there this weekend at Torch?

Anyone know a good spot to stay on Torch Lake for the Aug 1-4 w/e? Is it worth dragging the boat up there, or can you rent jet ski's/ pontoon boat there -- just would like to tour the lake, relax by beach/water, and have a look around the area.

Thanks, Dave

If you really don't want to drag your boat up there, you can rent a pontoon at either Butch's Tackle and Marine (231)377-6787 at Clam River...or Luhr's Landing (231)322-2868 on Torch River. I've rented a 24-ft. pontoon at Butch's before, and it's right across the channel from The Dockside...maybe the funnest place to eat and drink on the chain.

Any idea where to stay, my sister said just to stay at Traverse City and that it would be close enough, but if there was a nice place right on the lake -- I'd rather do that.

Oh and thanks for the #'s Black Jack.

Yes, definately worth hauling your boat up there. If you didn't then you might end up being sorry. You can also stay in Elk Rapids which is only about 7-10 miles from Torch Lake. Elk Rapids sits right on Grand Traverse Bay---so, you can launch your boat there too if you like and tour the bay...just read the charts before you go or follow some one who knows the waters well.
