SETON LAKE

DNR Lake ID: 27013307

Location Highlights:
Seton Lake is the channel between Cooks Bay, Harrisons Bay, and Spring Park Bay, working to bridge the west side to the east side of Lake Minnetonka. Seton Lake is a smaller body of water in the city of Mound. The homes in the area are within the Mound Westonka School District.

Water Quality:
The maximum water depth of Seton Lake is 25 feet, and it has a C rating in water quality by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. Seton Lake is a busy channel between Cooks Bay and Harrisons Bay; because of this, it is not a desirable place to swim.

Boating Restrictions:
No wake zone

Lake Access:
Seton Lake’s lack of marinas and boat launches makes it an ideal location to dock recreational boats. In the neighboring Harrisons Bay, boaters can access Metro Lakes Marina and Rentals within minutes of Seton Lake. The marina provides access to the water, dock slips, gas pumps, and various rentals like pontoons, fishing boats, jet skis, and paddle boards.

Amenities:
Seton Lake is a popular fishing spot because of its minimum wake regulation. Seton Lake is a busy bay, so fishing is better in the early morning or late evenings. Various fish species call Seton Lake home, including Largemouth Bass, Muskie, Black and White Crappie, Bluegill, Northern Pike, and Walleye. Seton Lake has proven to be popular in the winter. Ice houses line the bay from the day the lake freezes until the first Monday of March. Seton Lake is also home to the dog-friendly brewery Back Channel Brewing Co. The brewery features a selection of hand-crafted beers and various food trucks from Tuesday through Sunday evenings. Back Channel is accessible by the lake but only has limited dock spaces, so plan accordingly if you intend to arrive via boat.
