Location Highlights:
Smithtown Bay is tucked in the southern corner of Upper Lake Minnetonka. The small bay is sheltered from the harsh winds of the larger Lake Minnetonka. The highly sought-after homes on Smithtown Bay are in the cities of Victoria and Shorewood in the Minnetonka School District. Just across the bay are the Wawatasso and Crane Islands. Crane Island was a heron rookery until a storm tore down most of its trees in 1906. The herons then migrated to the neighboring Wawatasso Island. Following the storm, 25 Presbyterian families began building several private residential summer cottages and communal amenities on Crane Island. Today, the island is home to vacation properties and is registered as a Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places. Notable neighborhoods on the bay include Bayview, Bayshore and Baycliffe, Hawks Pointe, and Smithtown Terrace.
