This is a total road side tourist trap with a movie set look to it with old looking buildings and a chapel so yah I was going to stop and check it out anyway. The multiple buildings were mostly filled with business, a hodgepodge kind of a deal with antiques, fudge, ice cream, wine with free samples, meats, sausages with elk venison and buffalo, cheese, etc etc. I was down for the venison sausage but it was a little too big so I thought I might just get the venison snack sticks because it's too pricey to throw away if I don't eat it in time. I walked away with venison sticks and the ghost pepper cheese curds. The venison sticks were pretty good and the ghost pepper cheese curds had some nice heat which I liked. Yah it's a highway touring trap but it's just the right flavor on a road trip which adds to the road trip experience so Im glad I stopped and I would stop again.

Went to check out all the stores. There were only 2 open. Not interested in alcohol so for me only…read moreone store was open. One building had a sign saying it was open but upon arrival a monitor told us it was the storage unit for the one that was open. How disappointing. There were several cars in the parking lot making us believe it was busy, they are all staged vehicles none had plates on them. I would not recommend.

Then there was the time I "needed" a vest made from some of Dad's deerskins. ...and then there was the purse, the belt, the cute gifts, and the shoe repair.

A very expensive Harley belt wore out and the leather cracked, so they made me a new belt with the Harley hardware. 2. The pull strap on a pair of boots kept tearing and they replaced it.

We rented a pontoon for a day via Adventure Outfitters Lakeside online and prepaid for it. When we…read morearrived the morning of our rental, they helped us get our cooler & fishing gear on the boat and checking in was easy. A staff member provides a comprehensive review of the boat and it's features, and then you are free to cruise the blue-green waters of the Chain O' Lakes all day. The pontoon (20' Hydrotherapy) was clean and comfortable, the canopy kept us shaded when the sun was hot, you have swim stairs in case you want to stop at a sandbar and cool off, and there were no issues at all with the motor. Plus they give you a map showing the lakes in the chain, detailing which ones are no-wake so the day was relaxing and trouble-free from start to finish.

Their friendliness and no-pressure approach made the whole experience very enjoyable. Tim carefully explained every feature of a particular kayak that interested me, most of which I never would have known it had. As a result I bought a great Old Town fishing kayak, from a great store, at a great price. If you are tired of the impersonal treatment at the big box stores, then you need to go to Adventure Outfitters.
