Location Highlights:
Gideon Bay is situated just west of Excelsior Bay and southwest of Lower Lake Minnetonka, framed by Sunrise Point to the north and Commons Peninsula to the south. Homes on Sunrise Pointe enjoy some of the most breathtaking lake views, with unobstructed sights of the sun rising over the water. To the south, Commons Peninsula features two beloved community landmarks: Excelsior Public Beach and the historic Excelsior Commons Park. Gideon Bay reaches depths of up to 51 feet and boasts nearly 4.5 miles of scenic shoreline, shared by the communities of Excelsior, Shorewood, and Tonka Bay. All homes in this area are part of the highly rated Minnetonka School District, making it a sought-after location that combines natural beauty and top-tier education. Notable neighborhoods on the bay include Gideons Point and Willow Woods.
Water Quality:
The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District has historically given Gideon Bay an A in water quality. The water is crystal clear, and recreational users can enjoy the bay at any time of the year.
Boating Restrictions:
None
Lake Access:
While Gideon Bay itself does not have a marina, boaters enjoy convenient access just across Sunrise Point at Tonka Bay Marina on Echo Bay. This premier marina spans six acres of beautifully landscaped grounds and offers over 100 deep-water slips, each equipped with easy-access water and electrical hookups. Tonka Bay Marina is also home to Lake Minnetonka’s largest and most advanced travel lift system, providing state-of-the-art lift services available to the public by appointment.
Amenities:
The real estate on Gideon Bay is mainly residential. The exception is Old Orchard Park, located next to Tonka Bay City Hall. Old Orchard Park has a swing set, barbecue grills, and fishing piers. The city of Tonka Bay owns Old Orchard Park and offers annual dock slips to residents, boat slips, and canoe racks available to rent. However, it is essential to note that the dock slips have a several-year waiting list.
