| My group is looking at a trip into Canada in 2015 and we are in the process of finding a camp. My question is have any of you guys that do boat in camps ever had any problems with your tow rig / trailer being messed with while you are at the lodge, and do you have any suggestions about deterrents to the above happening?

Location: Elk River, Minnesota | Hiya,
In my close to 10 years of going to boat-in lodges, I have never had my rig messed with as I have put in at an area that has security cameras. It is worth paying a reasonable fee for that security, but I also don't keep anything in the vehicle of great value either while I am away from the truck.

| As an Owner of a boat in camp, our customers park their vehicles at a private marina, where the owners reside on the second story overlooking the whole yard. We are only entering our third year as lodge owners, however I don't recall any incidents in my time there and in speaking to others has never been an issue. Not sure how others are set up though.

I parked at the marina in Morson several years while staying at Grassy Narrows. Never had any troubles nor did I ever hear Betty or Jerry mentioning other customers having issues at the Marina. I currently launch out of Nestor and haven't had any issues over there either (knock on wood!). |

| I've been boating into various lodges on LOTW for I think 14 years now. Over the years I have parked at the NW Angle, Morson, Nestor Falls, Sioux Narrows, and Kenora and have never once had an issue with the truck and trailer in the parking lot.
