Forest Lake homes, and what that means on the day.
Lake homes around Forest Lake, Clear Lake and Comfort Lake, in town homes near Lake Street, and newer subdivisions and townhomes along Highway 61 and I-35.
Lake roads and lake lots decide the day here. A sloped lot down to the water means a carry up to the street, and a narrow lane may keep the big truck on the main road. We plan both ahead so the crew arrives with the right equipment.
Getting the truck to the door in Forest Lake.
From November 1 through April 15, no vehicle may be left standing or parked for more than 30 minutes on any Forest Lake street between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. At other hours, on-street parking is allowed unless signs prohibit it, but not within 5 feet of either side of a mailbox or bank of mailboxes and not for more than 24 consecutive hours in one location. A vehicle parked on a street must be moved within 15 minutes when a city employee asks for snow and ice removal or street or utility work. A vehicle that is not moved as directed may be towed at the owner's expense.
Based on the city's own rules as of September 2026. City rules change, so check with the city before move day.
