well for my b-day which is sep 28 i want to take some time and go up north for my first time ever. I was just wondering what places do u recommend to stay at and what is closes to lakes or rivers. I plan on going fri-sun so I'm trying to gather as much info as possible so i won't be clueless up there. I do see the sponsor on here but how close are the lakes from there? also any other resorts around there that you guys might recommend. Well plz if some1 can help me out i would truly appreciate it as i want to make reservations soon that way by the time I'm up their its all payed for. Thanx in advance, also I'm not looking for ur secret spots or anything like that just some friendly info from all u guys that go up there often.
