This is exactly what draws guests to <a href=\"https:\/\/leechlake.org\/lodging\/profileDetail\/Shores%20of%20Leech%20Lake\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shores of Leech Lake <\/a>year after year! Shores of Leech Lake is a marina best known for all of the sailboats that moor in the marina. Shores of Leech Lake is also the host of the Leech Lake Regatta; a three day sailing festival attracting sailors from around the Midwest.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Shores of Leech Lake has a 120 slip harbor where they rent slips on a seasonal basis. Many people do bring their own sailboats and rent a slip, however, Mitch Loomis, part owner of the resort, mentioned that he does refer people to sailboat renters in the area as well.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The resort is just 2 \u00bd miles north of Walkers on the paved Hartland and Paul Bunyan trails. In addition, each of Shores cottages has blacktopped access from the cottage door to the trail! Virtually all of Shores guests that have been there before know to bring their bicycles to ride to town or explore the forest and lakes by bicycle. When I asked Mitch how he would describe the overall atmosphere at the resort, he says, \u201cthe atmosphere is one of camaraderie and relaxed activity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Mitch explained that marinas have a different atmosphere from resorts. The people that stay there really tend to get involved in the marina. They walk around and get to know each other; they get to meet others that have a slip there or those that just come to enjoy the bar for our limited menu, tap beer and wine. He says it\u2019s easy for people to develop relationships and find out what it going on in the area by talking to others at the resort. He claims,<br \/>\n\u201cMarinas have a certain atmosphere where people tend to share more, drink more\u2026 it\u2019s more of a vacation atmosphere.\u201d<br \/>\nShores of Leech Lake offers guests their first beverage free on Friday evenings &#8211; Shores guests have dubbed this \u201cFree Beer Friday.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe marina atmosphere creates lots of stories,\u201dexplained Mitch. He told a story about a few sailors that mapped out each spot on the lake where a sail boat has gone down. In addition to the resorts appeal to sailors; fishermen, people with boats in general and families are drawn to the marina for the overall atmosphere. I asked Mitch what his favorite part of running a resort is, he responded \u201cmy favorite part is having something really nice for people to see and enjoy.\u201d<br \/>\nHe explained that when the resort looks nice and everything is in tip top shape, it creates a good mood. He states \u201cwe can\u2019t make guests have a good time, but we can provide an environment to facilitate it!\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cOur mission is to provide the best facilities that we can to people that love the water!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The resort has a strong commitment to the Walker community and all events. Coming up on July 4th the city will support a fundraiser event for the Walker Area Youth Hockey \u2013 Shores of Leech Lake encourages all to register.
