We've been staying at Towering Pines for a week every summer for 20 years now. It's on Clamshell Lake, one of 14 interconnected lakes on the Whitefish Chain in Northern Minnesota. We spend hours on the boat just cruising around from one lake to another admiring the beautiful scenery, crystal clear water, amazing homes, lovely landscaping and refreshing beverages (driver waits till we're back on shore). We'd been staying there for 6 years before discovering that one of my favorite cousins has a "cabin" on one of the lakes. That discovery ultimately led to us discovering Key West.
