Welcome to the Four Lakes Yacht Club web site! I'm BAAACK!! After a too long hiatus, I will finally be able to give the web site the attention it deserves. Just in time for boating season – good timing. Since my last updates, many things have happened at the club. Not the least of which was the tenant change at the restaurant. That one item has kept the Commodore and the rest of the board – myself included – working overtime. Please bear with me as it will take at least a couple of weeks to update the many areas that got behind.     Bourbon Street Grille Now OPEN!! We are all excited about the new addition to our restaurant property. Pat Mackesey, owner of Badgerland Meats and former proprietor of Patricks on Monona Drive, and his crew, have spent the winter gutting the structure and building the new restaurant. Everyone who has seen it is amazed at the transformation. It's impossible to summarize the number of changes done to the building over the last ten months, but here is just a brief list of what you'll see. New Orleans Motif Removal of the “Overhang” around the outside of the building New exterior color Two gorgeous banquet rooms with fire place Main dining room overlooking the river Two flat screen TVs Beautiful back bar Dinner menu in the $11 - $19 range. Roof Garden (Coming in June) Tenney Park Locks Dane County has put a locks permit fee in place for the 2004 boating season. Starting in 2004, boaters will pay $5 a day or $20 a year to travel upstream through the locks. Permits can be obtained at the locks or at the Dane County Parks Department. Find other useful information and lock hours here in Local Interest. We are all interested in the condition of our lakes. One parameter we watch closely is lake level. Will you hit bottom going out of the river? Will you make it under the bridge? Check out our lake level graphs.
