History:
Enchanted Island was home to the Maple Heights Inn during the peak years of Lake Minnetonka tourism. The inn was owned and operated by J.H. Woolnough; the three-story structure sat on a hill overlooking the lake, complete with a long staircase down to the shore. Maple Heights Inn also had a boathouse on the water equipped with rowboats that children would take to venture out to Black Lake and go fishing. Many visitors arrived at the inn’s dock via steamboat. By the 1890s, the railroad running along Lake Minnetonka extended to Spring Park, and yellow street cars replaced the large steamboats that ruled the lake for many years. A majority of guests at the inn were families and bass fishers.
