+ About this map
Lake Minnetonka sprawls across more than 14,000 acres just west of Minneapolis, the largest lake in the Twin Cities metro. Left behind by retreating glaciers, it is less a single lake than a tangle of interconnected bays, channels, and points, with Wayzata, Excelsior, and Mound along its shores and Big Island anchoring the middle. In summer its harbors fill with sailboats and cruisers; in winter, fish houses.
The depth contours make the lake’s complexity plain. Narrow channels thread between bays, shallow flats fringe the islands and points, and each bay holds its own basin. The deepest water lies in Crystal Bay, where the contours stack tightly toward the 100 foot mark, while broad bays like Halsted and Wayzata stay comparatively shallow. The map shows why no two corners of Minnetonka feel like the same lake.
