How's it going all. Seeing how we no longer have an official poker run anymore on the madison lakes, I thought it would be nice to just organize a little get together for a day on the madison lakes for anyone that would like to join in. Date will be the second saturday of August (14th), and if the weather will not cooperate, the 15th can be the back up date. I'm open to suggestions from people familiar to the area wether or not we want to stay on one lake, or tour the chain. Touring the chain would require going through S-N-W areas as well as a lock. Gilligans Island, is the hang out between lakes Menona and Waubesa, but in my opinion it get's too crowded with people that don't have the common sense or curtisy of being careful around other boats. Therefore, I would suggest we start on Mendota, and we could go through the lock and tour Menona and Waubesa, then make our way back through the lock and hang out at Picnic Point on Lake Mendota. It has facilities on shore with a short walk, and a nice sand bottom until about 20 feet from shore. We could raft up there and hang out. Also available on Mendota, is Mendota County Park. There are slips available there (5) and an overnighters could stay there. Facilities are also available there. Marshall Park on Mendota is a real nice launch, as well as Warren Park. Again, we can cement the details in place closer to the date. So if anyone's interested in joining in, please post up and include the boat you run. If you have any other questions you can email me at:

I'll be there. Should be fun.

A friend with a 288 Sunsation said he was planning on making it as well.

If the water doesn't come down more, and Menona is still on a slow no wake in two weeks, we'll just plan on staying on Lake Mendota.

Look under Lake level and information on the left side of the page.....

We will see if we can make it

Sounds good, hope to see you out there.......

Looks like they just discontinued the SNW for Lake Menona...... This is great news. Now the more water that the lake can lose before next weekend will be icing on the cake...

I would suspect it will start dropping fast now. Just need a few more boats. Come on guys, you don't need to go to that wedding or family reunion.

we will be there as long as the weather cooperates, might put in at lake farm on waubesa or olin on monona.
