Venture just north of Walker on Highway 371, and you'll discover Lakes Area Powersports, our featured business for the month. After purchasing the business in 2015, Doug & Mary Jo Wolter have used their 20 years’ experience on the manufacturing side of the powersports world to grow their business by expanded product offerings. This family-owned dealership has become a cornerstone for outdoor enthusiasts in the Leech Lake area. As a way to show appreciation for its customers, they implemented several loyalty programs as well as a newly renovated showroom to enhance the customer experience.
Employing a dedicated team of 16 individuals, they operate a full-service shop with manufacturer-certified technicians, an extensive inventory of parts and accessories, as well as a diverse selection of clothing and riding gear from top manufacturers such as KLIM®, 509®, and FXR.
Lakes Area Powersports offers a wide range of products to cater to diverse outdoor interests from industry-leading manufacturers such as Can Am®, Ski-Doo®, Sea-Doo®, Polaris ATVs/UTVs/snowmobiles, Manitou pontoons, and SeaDoo Switch. STIHL® and Toro® round out the outdoor equipment suppliers. For those in need of a trailer, they carry Triton®, Trophy, Karavan, Mid America, and FLOE trailers. Doug highlights, “We carry FLOE docks and lifts for our customers' lakeside needs, and we can also provide seasonal installation and removal, boat/pontoon/watercraft shrink wrap, and storage solutions.”
Lakes Area Powersports has proudly participated in the Adopt a Highway program since 2021. The dealership goes beyond business transactions to foster a sense of community through its engagement with local non-profit organizations including Wounded Warriors Take a Vet Fishing, Paws & Claws, Hackensack Fishing Contest, Special Olympics, and Walker Bay Live. Mary Jo notes, "We provide a great community volunteerism program for our employees," showcasing their commitment to giving back. As Lakes Area Power Sports continues to thrive, it is a testament to the Wolters' vision, dedication, and love for the outdoors.
