Forest Lake is a great town. Many conveniences for shopping, being that everything is close! The lakes and parks are beautiful. The 4th of July celebration is truly one of the best in the state. And it is not far to the cities to the south or for more country to the north and east. The schools are great and so are the people. People smile, hold doors and say hello. Love this community!
Lots of things to do especially during the summer! Love all the bar and restaurants there all unique and amazing.
The city has lots of amenities, pretty good school district, parks, and lakes. It's growing with some new housing and businesses, yet there's still some unkept areas of town that keep the city from being great. Still, it's very safe because violent crime is extremely low and it's location can't be beat.
