Welcome to YBC – Forest Lake! Just 27 miles northeast of St. Paul, Forest Lake is a quiet and quaint boating destination for fishermen and families alike. The lake itself is a series of 3 interconnected lakes, with Lake 1 linking to Lake 2 and Lake 2 linking to Lake 3 by clearly marked channels. The YBC marina is located on Lake 1 at Lakeside Park in Downtown Forest Lake. Although Forest Lake is considered one of our metro locations, it’s a great destination if you’re looking to stay closer to the cities but get that feeling of solitude. Check out our Fleet Sheet!
