    Whereas Itasca State Park is hopping when it comes to the number of things to do and the overall excitement and energy, Lake Bemidji State Park is like its quiet, serene sister. Still beautiful, maybe less to do, but offers a quiet tranquility that Itasca just can't. Location: 4 out of 5 As the name would suggest, it's located close to Bemidji. From downtown Bemidji (ok, maybe where BSU is), it's about a 15 minute drive. Parking for the visitors center is in a dirt lot. Price: 3 out of 5 I think it's a going right of 5 bucks for a day pass for any of MN's State parks if you're not a resident. Spending 5 bucks to look around for a few moments and take a walk isn't going to break the bank, and if you make a half day of it by going into the water at the beach area, I imagine that it'd be time and money well spent. I would surmise that there would be a fee to launch your boat, and an additional fee if you choose to camp here. Selection of activities: 2 out of 5 If you aren't camping or boating, the options are somewhat limited. There's the visitors center with a little learning annex below, there's the beach that you can walk in/wade in, and there's a fair number of trails that you can take a hike on. They also have an outdoor amphitheater for demonstrations and group activities. Peacefulness index: 4 out of 5 This is where this particular park really shines. It was incredibly peaceful and quiet just to walk around for a bit. If I read more, I could definitely see myself plopping down by the water and just enjoying a few hours to myself. Overall: 3 out of 5 Worth a visit if you're in the area and want to get awhile for a little bit. The peacefulness factor is awesome, and if you've planned ahead, you can spend a very nice afternoon at this park.

    Nice park! Good for camping with young children as the beach, playground and biking and hiking trails are close to campground.

    LePier really does a good job taking care of our needs regarding lifts and docks. We've used them…read morefor about 6 years now. They always get things done by when they say, their guys are always courteous and polite, and when they do things they do them right. Prices are fair. They're honest and they'll shoot very straight with you. Sometimes communication could be a bit better. Things always get sorted out when they float up to the top (Bryan and/or Graham), but sometimes the people below don't know what's going on. In fairness to them, like 90% of their business occurs in the two 4 week periods in May and September when everything goes in and everything comes out of the 50 lakes around Bemidji, so things get a bit crazy, and I get it.

    LePier has been an excellent help to us throughout the summer. From getting our dock and boat lift…read moreout to repairing the boat lift after a big storm came through, they have been phenomenal. When the storm came through, LePier was down on our shoreline that very night. The owner privided us with a quick estimate and we were able to file our claim with the insurance the following day. The lift was repaired and replaced swiftly. LePier gets 4 stars instead of 5 because there was a little hassle in establishing service. Here's a tip: If you feel as though you are getting the run around from the staff. Ask for Brian (he is the owner) and leave a message on his phone. It's amazing how quickly the process was started from there!!

    I wish I could give ZERO stars.. This may be a known…read morecompany, but this specific location in Detroit Lakes, and the employees that work here, did horrible work and have horrible customer service. We just bought a cabin on a lake last year, and then purchased a pontoon and dock this past spring for summer. My MIL found this company and said "the guys were really nice, we can store the boat and lift here, it's gonna be great". COOL. Well, after they came to put the lift in the first time, we just seemed to have problem after problem with them and the lift. First time we called to get something fixed or adjusted, they didn't do anything and still charged us. Second time they came out to fix their mistake, they dropped the motor in the lake, and STILL charged us. Third time they came out to fix their mistake, they dropped fishing poles in the water and didn't bother to fish them out, to which they sat in the water for probably a week. Forth time they came to fix their mistakes, they broke a fishing rod and managed to bend our pontoon canopy bars and claimed "we didn't do any of that". When everything was brought up, the guy said "my guys have worked 10 some years and they're good and loyal to their job, they wouldn't have done that." And NOTHING was done to fix any of the problems. My MIL and grandfather in law spent over $6k for stuff they broke and couldn't fix and REFUSED to give us any compensation for the legit hell they caused us and how much money they just lost for literally NOTHING. We all have been fumed with anger, especially with them doing nothing to make the problem better. This place is 1000% money hungry, and no ones takes pride in their work, making or keeping customers happy. Rather get the business, do a shit job and take your money and run. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE.
