BLACK LAKE
Location Highlights:
Black Lake is located between the Seton Lake and Spring Park Bay, in Mound. Homes on Black Lake are located in the Mound Westonka School System. The bay is home to the Park Island Apartments, one of few apartment complexes on Lake Minnetonka offering its tenants' lakeshore access and dock slips. Wawatasso Island and Crane Islands in Upper Lake Minnetonka are just minutes from Black Lake. Predating 1906, Crane Island was a heron rookery until a storm took down most of its trees, and the herons migrated to its sister island, Wawatasso. After the storm, 25 families began building many private residential summer cottages and communal amenities on Crane Island. Today, Crane Island is home to vacation properties and is a registered Historic District listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Water Quality:
The water depth in Black Lake reaches a maximum depth of 27 feet, and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District has given it a C rating in water quality. Black Lake is desirable for swimming and boating later in the season.
Boating Restrictions:
No wake zone
Lake Access:
Black Lake's no-wake regulation and the absence of marinas and boat launches in the bay make it the perfect spot to dock recreational boats.
Amenities:
Black Lake is a no-wake zone, making it a great spot to fish year-round, notably home to fish species like Largemouth Bass, Sunfish, Crappie, Muskie, Northern Pike, Rock Bass, Walleye, and Black and Brown Bullhead. Nearby, Seton Channel boaters have access to the dog-friendly brewery Back Channel Brewing Co.
