Location Highlights:
Carman Bay is located in the northwestern region of Lake Minnetonka- connecting East Upper Lake to Lafayette Bay and Lower Lake South. For this reason, Carman Bay is the perfect location for residents looking to stay on the less crowded west side of Lake Minnetonka and still have easy access to lake towns like Wayzata and Excelsior. The homes for sale on Carman Bay are in Orono and Excelsior and the Mound Westonka School District.
Water Quality:
The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District has classified the water quality of Carman Bay as an A. The water is crystal clear and can be enjoyed by recreational users at any time of the year. The city of Orono is actively working to keep Carman Bay clean by establishing the Carman Bay Lake Improvement District (CBLID) to improve water quality and target invasive species that have infiltrated the bay. This initiative has already seen results in reducing the number of invasive species in the bay while increasing the number of native species.
Boating Restrictions:
None
Lake Access:
The lack of boat launches and marinas on Carman Bay makes it an ideal location to dock recreational boats.
Amenities:
Carman Bay's neighbor, Spring Park Bay, has three family-friendly islands that are a quick boat ride away. Goose, Spray, and Shady Islands are perfect for anchoring and enjoying the crystal-clear water of Spring Park Bay. Goose Island is a great spot to meet with friends, with a public dock and beautiful sandy beach. It is an excellent getaway for an evening, watching the sunset over Phelps Bay. It is common to see boats anchored off Spray and Shady Islands coasts because they protect against the winds and waves of Lake Minnetonka. Although Carman Bay has no restaurants on the water, there are plenty of dining options in Navarre, MN. After just five minutes in the car, you can grab a lovely meal and enjoy live music at The Narrows and The Lake Room, or grab a pizza to go at Lulu's Pizza.
