My wife and I our looking at the Winni area and we're both drawn to the islands for some reason but the logistics of getting us and family/friends there gives us pause. There isn't a lot of info on how people do this so hopefully someone can provide some insight into where you can park you cars, where you can leave your boat (on mainland) etc. Since it would be a weekend/vacation spot we'd be driving up weekly so we'd have to leave our cars somewhere close to where our boat is parked on the lake. I'm assuming we'd have to rent a slip (or buy?) what's a typical cost for this? Are there easy (maybe not cheap) ways to get cars or large items to the islands? What about if guests want to come, is there a normal spot they park to be picked up?

Also, what if we want guests to go without us. Are there easy ways to get to the islands without your own boat?

Thanks!
