Goin' To The Lake Recap: Lake Mille Lacs (Day 2)

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- It is day two of the adventures of Mike Max and Chris Shaffer in this week's edition of Goin' To The Lake! Mike and Chris are in Garrison this week to check out all the fun stuff to do around our state's second biggest body of water: Lake Mille Lacs.

They picked a great weekend to stop by -- it is Play Days in Garrison, with all sorts of events and festivals to explore! There's a softball tournament, a volleyball tournament, clowns, raffles and much more.

If you have been up to Garrison you've probably spent time at the old Blue Goose Inn -- well now there's a new Blue Goose in town. It's not quite the same, but does still offer a place for folks to stop in for a drink and get a bite to eat.

The new Blue Goose is right off 169 and is sandwiched by food on both sides. You can go with fast food from Burger King or get some pizza at Broadway.

You will also find a little patio area where you can sit back and watch the waves on Lake Mille Lacs.

Mike and Chris stopped by Northwood Hills Golf to try their hand -- er, foot -- at a new trend in sports: Foot Golf. It's just like golf, but with more physical activity. Or, depending on who you ask, it's like soccer with a lot less physical activity. Either way, they had a blast!

They fellas also checked out the beautiful sights and sounds of Kathio State Park. Not only can you hike, camp or canoe at Kathio -- you can also get a great history lesson. The park is a National Historic Landmark, and it's a great place to spot wildlife like bald eagles, deer, beavers and even coyotes.

Chris and Mike got a chance to become one with nature during a canoe trip on the Rum River in Kathio.

Oh, and Mike added a new lucky hat to his collection Friday night, and Chris was not that into it!

Of course, as has been the case all season, you can't kick off a great road trip without first setting up a playlist. Chris stocked this week's roster with some of his favorite power duets of all time. Reunited? It feels so good.

Since Mike is doing double duty this week in Goin' to the Lake, the web team all pitched in to help him fill out his half of the playlist. I think you'll agree, this is exactly the kind of music Mike loves to listen to on a long car ride.

Listen to the full playlist below!
