History

The storied history of Lake Minnetonka is as interesting and complex as the lake itself. From the "Mound Builders" the first inhabitance, to the discovery of the lake by Joe Brown and Will Snelling in 1822, Lake Minnetonka has been a point of interest and a coveted destination in the midwest. We celebrate the history of Lake Minnetonka and are constantly amazed by the neverending story of Minnesota's premier lake. 

HISTORY OF LAKE MINNETONKA

Geography

Lake Minnetonka was formed approximately 10,000 years ago as the Laurentide Ice Sheet receded northward. The lake is a collection of kettle lakes connected by channels and marshlands which, along with 18 islands, comprise its irregular shape and 133 miles of shoreline. Lake Minnetonka is divided into two halves, the Upper Lake in the west and the Lower Lake in the east, which reflect the easterly flow of water in the lake's watershed. The deepest point of Lake Minnetonka is 113 feet in Crystal Bay. The average depth of the lake is approximately 30 feet. With a surface area of 14,528 acres, Lake Minnetonka is the ninth largest lake in Minnesota.
