Let’s Go Fishing to launch in Forest Lake in 2026
Minnesota-based nonprofit Let’s Go Fishing has added a new chapter in Forest Lake that is expected to launch its services in June 2026.
Let’s Go Fishing provides free fishing and boating outings for seniors, veterans, the disabled and youth. The Forest Lake chapter, which established in July, will have a ribbon-cutting ceremony with the Forest Lake Chamber of Commerce in early October.
“It’s a great thing that’s going to help the community and help the city continue to grow as a community, and hopefully we’re enhancing the lives of people here,” Forest Lake resident and chapter president Keith Kuhnly said, later adding, “It’s a great organization [and] great mission, so I think it sells itself once people know about it.”
“We’re trying to reconnect people with the outdoors, the lakes, especially here [as] this is such a focal point in Forest Lake,” Kuhnly said. “It’s a wonderful resource that we all can enjoy. It’s just easy to enjoy reconnecting people with that, especially elderly people, who we focus on quite a bit.”
The Forest Lake chapter has already begun fundraising for its operational needs and yearly maintenance.
