The Leech Lake, Walker area always has something going on. This past weekend was the Sailing of the 38th Leech Lake Regatta. With the wide open expanses of water, Leech is a natural for the sailing enthusiast. All sorts of styles, colors and sizes of sailboats participated. The sailboats come through the "Narrows" just south of Oak Point Estates and head for Goose Island. Walker also had its "Walker Bay Days" with fun for the entire family at the city park. The purpose of Walker Bay Days is to celebrate family values, community pride and the preservation of the Leech Lake area.
Wild rice season opens August 15, and yes you have to purchase a license unless you are a member of the LL Indian Reservation. The "Narrows" has some large wild rice beds and some other areas just south of Oak Point Estates. Hand parched wild rice from Leech Lake makes some excellent Christmas gifts.
Blueberries season is also upon us. I made two blueberry pies this week for my wife's birthday. Although I have to confess that I used commercial blueberries rather then the wild ones. I don't know of any blueberry patches near the Oak Point area, but a part of the up north summer experience is blueberry pie.
