DNR Lake ID: 27013800
Location Highlights:
Peavy Lake is a quaint bay on Lake Minnetonka, spanning just 9 acres; it is significantly smaller than its neighbor, Browns Bay. The two bays are linked through a long, narrow channel that was dredged in the late 19th century. Prior to that, these bays were two separate bodies of water. The lake's name originates from farmer and entrepreneur Frank H. Peavey, known for creating the Highcroft Estate. Homes along Peavy Lake are located in the city of Wayzata, and fall within the Wayzata School District. With only half a mile of shoreline and its modest size, Peavy Lake enjoys minimal boat traffic, offering residents a peaceful and private lakeside experience in one of the most secluded settings on Lake Minnetonka.
Water Quality:
The water depth in Peavy Lake reaches a maximum depth of 63 feet, and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District has given it a C rating in water quality, which means that Peavy Lake is desirable for swimming and boating later in the season.
Boating Restrictions:
No wake zone
Lake Access:
Peavy Lake's lack of marinas and boat launches makes it an ideal location to dock recreational boats. In the neighboring Browns Bay, boaters have access to North Shore Marina and Browns Bay Marina within minutes of Peavy Lake. These marinas provide easy access to the water, dock slips, and off-season storage.
Amenities:
Peavy Lake is a popular fishing spot because of its small size and no-wake regulation. The bay is also pretty quiet, which proves advantageous to fishers not looking to compete for their game. Peavy Lake is home to various fish species like the Black Bullhead, Bluegill, Northern Pike, Yellow Bullhead, and Pumpkinseed.
