East Upper Lake, South Upper Lake, and West Upper Lake offer many of the same types of fishing choices. The larger the lake or bay, the more clear the water tends to be. Overall, there certainly is not a shortage of places to fish, and should the wind make conditions rough, there are plenty of escape routes. Lines testing 12 to 25 pounds are standard. Complete motel and restaurant facilities are available in Wayzata, Excelsior, Navarre, and Minneapolis.
Camping is also available nearby.
