Lake Minnetonka Clean Up

[cap10bob]

I believe the closest public ramp is in deephaven at Carsons's bay.
Parking is a hike though. They ticket you near the launch - voice of experience.

Make sure to load your gear when you launch, or plan to drive to the
event and load from there. At the event there is a nice large pier, so the gear
is easy to roll down and load in the boats.

I'd suggest having 2 people , one in the boat, and the other drive the trailer to the event.
The parking is free at the event.
