I will call the DNR ASAP. On Warner lake in Stearns county it states electric motors only. OK got it but can my boat go in with a gas motor and obviously only use the electric? I looked at the statue but heaven forbid MN would ever state a law clearly.
Yes you can.
Yes you can.
What he said. You can launch a boat that has an outboard, you just can’t use it. Lots of guys use bigger boats on the inner metro lakes that have outboards, they just can’t use them.
Thanks I thought that would be correct
On the city lakes they sometimes ask that you trim your motor up. Hardest thing for me is loading my boat because my troller is a bow mount-have thought about bring a stern mount too, just for loading.
Thanks everyone. Just called the DNR yes as you all said you can but as Tim said they prefer you have your motor trimmed up and good call on loading this lake does not have a dock so paddles may be in order. Just looks like a pretty lake to explore some time.
I fish a lake like this in Chanhassen. Trolling motor only. Sometimes I have the big motor up and Sometimes not.
Go for it. Just smile and wave to the people on shore yelling at you for being on the lake with a gas motor. They don’t know any better.
Did you catch anything?
