DNR Lake ID: 27013305
Location Highlights:
Old Channel Bay is nestled south of Carman Bay and east of Upper Lake, with its waters historically dredged in the late 19th century to connect Upper Lake to Lower Lake. Homes along this charming bay are located within the cities of Tonka Bay and Excelsior, and fall under the Minnetonka School District. The bay's southern edge is defined by Locke Point, an area celebrated for its picturesque boathouses and tranquil views of Upper Lake. Clay Cliffe is a lakeside enclave that offers deeded lakeshore access, a serene setting, and an abundance of amenities, including communal tennis courts, a lakeside gazebo, and 24-hour security, on Locke Point and Old Channel Bay.
Water Quality:
The water depth in Old Channel Bay ranges from 5 to 51 feet and has a B rating for water quality by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. The water quality is generally good in the bay, but algae may limit swimming towards the end of the summer.
Boating Restrictions:
None
Lake Access:
The lack of boat launches and marinas on Old Channel Bay makes it an ideal location to dock recreational boats.
Amenities:
Notable areas on the bay are the Narrows Channel, which connects Upper Lake to Lower Lake Minnetonka. The busy channel is home to great fishing and free on-site parking. Just off County Road 19, it is a popular spot amongst locals, as it is home to fish species like Northern Pike, Walleye, Bullhead, Muskie, and Crappie. The fishing in the channel provides a friendly environment for old and new fishers alike. Locals describe it as a relaxed environment where everyone has just as much fun watching others catch as their own. Although Old Channel Bay has no restaurants on the water, Navarre has plenty of dining options. After just five minutes in the car, you can enjoy live music and a meal at The Narrows or The Lake Room.
