Excerpt from:  DL makes top 10 list for boating sites 



 The National Marine Manufacturers Association named Minnesota as one of the top 10 boating states

based on annual sales.

From there, Discover Boating, a non-profit awareness program, has named Detroit Lake as the most

affordable, must-visit boating destinations within the state.

“While the Top 10 states were determined by NMMA’s 2009 sales data,” said NMMA Public Relations

Manager Sarah Ryser, “Discover Boating surveyed a network of boating experts and people who love life

on the water to select a nautical hot spot within each of the 10 states.” 

Destination: Detroit Lakes — With more than 400 lakes within a 25-mile radius, Detroit Lakes offers a

summer vacation for every type of boater and plenty of family fun. An abundance of public boat launches,

marinas and boat rentals, makes it easy to discover boating in Detroit Lakes.

“For each hot spot, we looked at proximity of navigable waterways, which also offer plenty of water access

and launch ramps; have cruising, rental and charter options available; as well as, a variety of on-the-

water activities,” Ryser said.

Which leads us at Jack Chivers Realty to ask...Need a beach to go with that boat?
