DNR Lake ID: 27013300
Location Highlights:
Tanager Lake is located just west of Browns Bay, and was originally separated from the greater Lake Minnetonka until a narrow channel was dredged to connect the two. This peaceful bay spans 54 acres and features just over a mile of scenic shoreline. All homes on Tanager Lake are located within the city of Orono and served by the highly regarded Orono School District. Its prime location offers residents the tranquility of lakeside living while being just minutes from downtown Wayzata, making it easy to enjoy boutique shopping, dining, and waterfront amenities year-round.
Water Quality:
The water depth in Tanager Lake reaches a maximum depth of 20 feet, and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District has given it a C rating in water quality. This rating indicates that the lake remains desirable for swimming and boating, particularly later in the season when water clarity and conditions tend to improve.
Boating Restrictions:
None
Lake Access:
Tanager Lake is home to the Tanager Marina, conveniently located in Orono. A branch of North Shore Marina, this full-service facility offers 40 dock slips along with top-tier amenities, including electricity, water, fuel, restrooms, on-site parking, and dockhands available daily from 8 a.m. to dusk. Just across Shoreline Drive, Browns Bay Marina, Tanager's sister marina, provides 58 additional slips and offers the same high-quality services, ensuring convenient access for both residents and visitors.
Amenities:
Tanager Lake is known for its excellent fishing, with minimal boat traffic due to its semi-secluded setting. Anglers can expect a healthy mix of species, including Bullhead, Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Muskie, Northern Pike, Walleye, Crappie, and Yellow Perch. Nearby in Wayzata Bay, boaters can dock at the Wayzata Public Docks and enjoy the charm of downtown Wayzata.
