Hey guys, planning on hitting Winefred sometime this summer, just wondering if anyone has any info to share on this lake.   I would really love to know if there is any other access to the lake other than at the lodge.  A guy shouldn't have to pay to use the boat launch at a public lake IMO...

Last time I was there I remember another launch.  It is about 3/4 of a mile east of the lodge on another little road that branches off not too far from the Grist airstrip.   We launched a 20 foot jet boat there.   It may be owned by the Lodge as well but when I was there it was free to use.  It was a good launch with a breakwater built with big rocks around it.  The road went along that little lake at the south end of Winefred straight north of Grist.  The road was dicey when we were there but that was several years ago.

Good luck when you go.  We did alright for walleye and pike at Banana island and white cliffs.

Well each to his own H.T.

$10.00 a night to park your truck might be cheap to have someone watch it.. If some of them local boys find it sitting by itself out in the woods it might cost you a heck of a lot more than that.

Anyway with all that out of the way you gys have fun up there and take the cameras I would love to see if the lake still has a few hogs in it. Its been years since I was up there. used to hit it quite a bit but not in the last few years.. Best of luck to you guys..
