Devil's Lake

Our journey back from Duluth took us back through Detroit Lakes - we spent the night at Long Lake and had nice neighbors who stay there from May through October and had planted green grass and beautiful flower bowls. We then drove to East Grand Forks and spent the night and then went shopping at the Cabela store. We drove to Devils Lake where we had a very nice 3 days. We camped at Spirit Lake Casino which allowed for a little gambling, dinner out and then we hired a guide to take us fishing for walleye and northern pike. I was lucky enough to catch both the walleye and the northern pike. Devil's Lake is pretty amazing as it keeps growing due to the wet seasons. It has flooded out many homes and roads. Some of the fishing sites are named for the roads and the people who owned the houses.
While we were in the area we took a drive to the Wildlife area - we didn't see any wildlife other than the praire dogs but they were very entertaining. We also visited a fort that was used at one time for schooling the indians.
