Cool!I was just thinking about that... I THINK it was just Woman Lake Lodge. Some rustic lodges, a small row of motel rooms and I can't remember much else. No restaurant that I can recall. They had a cute little cove where the boats were so we'd motor out. A long dock on the lake-side... I might have to google map it and see if I can still find it.
Only town around I can remember was Brainerd but I recollect that was still 45 minutes away...
My family has been going to Woman Lake every summer since my parents were kids. We either stay at Woman Lake Lodge or the Green Roof Lodge (which are the gray cabins) next to Woman Lake Lodge.
As for the town your thinking of you with the lakeside restaurant, that is Longville or possibly Hackensack. Otherwise the next largest town is Walker, which I think has a casino and Leach Lake.
