Herons for lunch

Lola’s Lakehouse sits on the Waconia waterfront about 500 yards from an island home to dozens of nesting Great Blue Herons, Great Egrets, and Double-crested Cormorants. The nests, in trees atop a high hill, are easily visible right now, the trees yet to break into green. You can sit at a window table, enjoy a reasonably priced and tasty lunch, and watch good birds. Binoculars are recommended for tables, spotting scopes (best) on the deck. If you want a closer look, just down the street the In Towne Marina rents pontoon boats.
