A little about us:

As our East Central MN Chapter enters our 20th season we want to thank our devoted volunteers, sponsors, in-kind donors and clients for our successful season last summer. We are looking forward to another fun, heart-warming season in 2023.

Our Chapter was established in 2004 by a group of dedicated volunteers. We have been taking seniors, veterans, youth and disabled individuals out on our handicapped accessible pontoon for 19 years. Many of our guests are residents of nursing homes, assisted living residents, group homes and individuals from the North Branch, Cambridge, Forest Lake, Chisago City, Pine City areas and beyond.

Our original pontoon is docked at Flickabirds Resort on Rush Lake in Rush City, MN. Their generosity in allowing us to keep the pontoon at the resort makes it easy access for our guest and convenient for our volunteers. It also provides a great place to grab lunch before or after a trip for those interested.

In 2016 we were able to add a second boat, we soon discovered that it was a little small for our outings so this year we purchased a larger pontoon that will accompany 10 people. This boat serves the Chisago Lakes Area. Just like our original boat this boat is available for outings Monday through Thursday to serve seniors, veterans, the disabled as well as youth.

Booking a trip:

Our Rush Lake boat has scheduled outings Mon. – Thurs. from 9:00-11:00am, 11:30-1:30pm, with two additional trips on Wed. 2:00-4:00pm and 6-8pm. Our Chisago Area boat has scheduled outings from 9:00-11:00 am, and 11:30-1:30 pm Mon. – Thurs. If you would like to schedule an outing outside of these times please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate you.

If you would like to join us on an outing you may either sign up as a group or as an individual. Whether you are interested in fishing or just want to spend a couple of hours on the lake we would love to have you join us.

We provide everything you need, life jackets, fishing rods and reels, bait, water and a snack and hopefully a great time for all.
