I can tell you there is a no better place to connect with your family and friends than the great outdoors and the minong flowage. we always do well fishing and always have a great time.

DNR ripped out our makeshift dam which had been in place for 40 years or maybe more.We have been told it will cost $80K to have a correct dam built.This has been going on now 3 years.The lake is nearly unusable to a lot of us,now waiting to have the authorities build the correct dam and bring our lake back to its legal level.Our tax assement has been levied on the most recent tax bill,but as far as I know there has been no movement on the rebuilding of our dam

Lake burnita is a really nice place for relaxing. Swimming used to be good, but last time I went in, I had silt up to my waist-no kidding! Great in the wintertime. There is a varrity of cabins, so if you are low-income or want to have perminit residency, I suggest Lake Burnita. If you can't catch anything, there are many lakes within a 15-mile radius. Also a great place for biking.

In 1971, my father built a Koronis lake home on Briarwood Lane (route 2) and every summer for 20 years our family would fly from San Diego to Minneapolis and head down to Paynesville for the summer. Sadly, we sold our cabin. I have such fond memories of the lake and the town's people. I have since wanted to come back and rent a cabin or stay at Bug Bee Resort. Anyone who is interested in fishing, waterskiing or just relaxing should consider Lake Koronis as a vacation destination. I'm sure Paynesville has changed over the years, but if one were to venture into Tuck's Cafe or Wishing Well for lunch the folks would have some great stories to share.

Last summer I enjoyed with my family a day of golfing, swiming and dining out. The really cool part was the fact we never had to leave the boat. 6300 acres of lake and enjoyment.

Anvil was busy with fishermen over the weekend. Lots of walleye and northern caught. The cross country skiing was great also on Sunday but now is frozen over. Snow is presently falling and we are hoping for a couple inches to soften out the ice to make it fun to ski on again later this week!

Great fishing this winter. Lots of walleye and northern bagged. Hoping the biting continues this summer. The lake was stocked with Walleye fingerlings about 6 years ago.

Perch fishing was slow 1 mile out off Calumet county park. Seen a few on the camera but only a few takers. Roads plowed and trees were put out yesterday.
