Lake Minnetonka…Paradise Style!
PAGE 3
A premiere lake in Minnesota, Lake Minnetonka and its
surrounding communities offer much to do including fine
dining and shopping, beaches, parks, trails and community
events.
The lake area has a rich history, which contributes large-
ly to the culture. Many of the events in the lake area pay
homage to the area’s history. Land and infrastructure dating
back more than 100 years still exists around the lake today.
Before the 20th Century began, Lake Minnetonka was
not only attracting those from around the Twin Cities, but
people from around the state made Lake Minnetonka a
weekend get-away destination. In South Lake, a casino and
amusement park were favorite attractions in the 1900s.
Hotels popped up around the lake after steamboats and
trolleys became popular forms of transportation.
Currently, many people make Lake Minnetonka home,
while many more travel to it for all it has to offer.
This is the second Lake Minnetonka guide, which will
highlight what the area offers. Festivals, food, shopping,
recreation and history all make the area so popular. This
guide offers information to allow readers to enjoy the lake
area and discover what a gem it is.

Settled in 1850 and
nestled right on the
shores of Lake
Minnetonka, Excelsior
has the small town
charm, yet is less than
15 miles from down-
town Minneapolis.
Excelsior is popular
in the summer months
but remains busy year-
round with many activi-
ties and events.
Water Street in
Excelsior offers a shop-
ping experience unlike
any other place. Quaint
restaurants and inde-
pendently owned businesses
give people a unique departure
from the usual. Clothing,
antiques, sweets, treats, unique
dining experiences and small-
town charm are part of the
experience in Excelsior that
people are drawn to.
The Fourth of July celebra-
tion, Art on the Lake, Apple
Day and regular events such as
Girls Night Out Thursdays dur-
ing the summer attract visitors
from around the Twin Cities
metro area. Christkindlmarkt,
which takes place over
Thanksgiving Day weekend
along Water Street is another
unique shopping experience
that kicks off the holiday sea-
son in Excelsior.
In winter, when Minnesota is
at its coldest and Lake
Minnetonka is frozen over,
things start heating up in South
Lake. Arctic Fever offers many
activities such as human bowl-
ing, an ice bike race, skijoring
and cross-country skiing to
name a few. This mutli-day
event takes place in January
with coordinated events in
Tonka Bay, Shorewood and
Excelsior. Not far after, The
Pond Hockey North America
Championship in Excelsior Bay
brought hundreds of hockey
players and spectators to
Excelsior Bay in the last three
years.
Lyman Lumber parking lot,
which once hosted many events
in Excelsior, will soon be home
to a new library. The events
have been relocated throughout
the city, and construction of the
library is scheduled to begin in
September.
The Commons in Excelsior
offer amenities such as large
open grass areas, a playground,
tennis courts and a beach. The
adjacent Port of Excelsior has
municipal and commercial
docking.

Experience excellence
A fifth dock was added to
the Commons this year, provid-
ing more lake access to resi-
dents. The area was once home
to the Excelsior Amusement
park, which operated 1925-
1973. The Lake Minnetonka
Casino was replaced by the
Lake View Pavilion in the ‘20s.
The city, though growing and
bustling, also maintains the his-
toric charm that has made it a
destination in demand on Lake
Minnetonka.

Residents pride themselves on
“Two Miles of Tranquility.”
Deephaven is located just west of
the city of Minnetonka. The city
has a population of less than 4,000
residents and offers seven parks,
six beaches and the regional trail
running along Lake Minnetonka.
A lakeside community, summer
months in Deephaven are relaxing
and enjoabyle Visit for Deephaven
Days in August.
Probably Deephaven’s most
famous attraction, the General
Store opened in 1895. Visitors
can purchase treats including ice
cream, sandwiches and other
items. The store also offers histo-
ry of how it began and about the
surrounding area. The
Cottagewood community also
owns the store. There were 135
residents who pitched in to buy it
and maintain the community
treasure after it was put up for
sale in 1995. The building is
being resided with an estimated
cost of $13,000.

Home to numerous businesses
and 46,000 employees,
Minnetonka will welcome many
more workers when the expan-
sion to UnitedHealth Group’s
campus is complete in 2012.
The healthcare company began
work on a new 11-story, 342,000
square-foot office building in
early 2011 at its campus in the
Opus Business Park at Bren
Road and Highway 169.
It’s not the only improvements
going on in that section of
Minnetonka. Construction work
on a new interchange at Bren
Road and 169, which began in
April, is expected to be com-
plete in November.
In addition to its commercial
properties, Minnetonka is home
to 50,000 residents and 1,700
acres of parks, recreation areas
and preserves. Its natural
scenery includes 49 community
parks, mature trees, wetlands
and prairies.
Ojibway and Dakota Native
Americans were the first settlers
in the area. After Native
American tribes signed an
agreement allowing settlement
of lands west of Fort Snelling,
Minnetonka’s first settlement
was established in 1852. The
city is located about eight miles
west of Minneapolis.
It is home to two public high
schools – Hopkins High School
and Minnetonka High School.
The former is home to the
Lindbergh Center, a community
exercise facility and the Hopkins
High School Auditorium, which
houses many student and profes-
sional productions. The latter is
home to the Arts Center on 7, a
multi-use performing arts center
that houses student productions
and several resident perform-
ance groups.
PAGE 9
Annual community activities
in the city include Music in the
Park and the Minnetonka
Farmers Market at the
Minnetonka Community Center.
The Farmers’ Market will return
July 5 this year. Other popular
warm weather events include the
annual Summer Festival/Burwell
House Ice Cream Social, which
will be held June 25.
In May the city celebrated the
grand re-opening of the
Williston Center. The event
showcased the community exer-
cise facility’s newly renovated
pool, fitness areas and play
structure.
Minnetonka has two beaches,
Libbs Lake Beach and Shady
Oak Beach, which is a popular
destination for residents from
surrounding cities. The
Minnetonka Community Center
houses City Hall, the city’s sen-
ior citizens program and can
accommodate many types of
gatherings from meetings to
wedding receptions.
The city-owned Minnetonka
Ice Arena offers public skating,
skating lessons and adult hockey.
It is also where the Lake
Minnetonka Figure Skating Club,
Hopkins and Minnetonka Youth
Associations and high school
hockey programs from both the
Hopkins and Minnetonka school
districts conduct their operations.
Though Minnetonka shares its
name with Lake Minnetonka,
only one small bay of the lake is
located in the city – Gray’s Bay,
which forms the headwaters of
Minnehaha Creek. City Hall is
located at 14600 Minnetonka
Blvd.

Incorporated in 1956, the city
of Shorewood is six miles long
and one mile wide encompass-
ing around 3,600 acres. The city
remains mainly residential and
includes three islands – Spray,
Shady and Enchanted.
Even with its diminutive size,
the city boasts six parks provid-
ing a variety of recreation
options and access to the LRT
trail, which runs through town.
Its 7,551 residents and visitors
have several options for year-
round activity.
Shorewood also took over
operation of the Southshore
Community Center, 5735
Country Club Road, from sur-
rounding cities in 2009. The
community center had been
owned and operated by five
South Lake Minnetonka cities.
After renovations were complet-
ed in 2009, the center now
offers activities for seniors but
along with all-age classes,
forums and events.
Artic Fever, which usually
takes place mid-January in three
South Lake cities, originated in
Shorewood. This event was cre-
ated to celebrate the winter in
South Lake and all it has to
offer.
Winter or summer, those in
Shorewood can find much to do
within the city or take a short
jaunt to neighboring cities.

wood.mn.us or (952) 960-7900.

Located in between the upper
and lower bodies of Lake
Minnetonka, Tonka Bay has more
Minnetonka shoreline than any
other city of its size. The one
square-mile town with slightly
more than 1,500 residents was
incorporated as a village in 1901.
The city’s parks offer year-
round activity with beaches and
ice skating rinks.
Manitou Park is the largest of
four city parks. It is located on
County Road 19. It has a hockey
rink with warming house, a bas-
ketball court, soccer and baseball
fields, picnic shelter, playground
and other amenities. Old Orchard
Park, just down the road on
County Road 19 from Manitou
Park, is the home of the Tonka
Bay City Hall. Here residents
have access to the municipal
docks, areas to grill, swings and a
fishing pier.
Crescent Beach and the beach
at Wekota Park have lifeguards
on duty during the summer and
provides a great gathering point
for any group.

abay.net or (952) 474-7994.

The first residential dwellings
were constructed in Woodland in
1867, settled in 1882 and incor-
porated in 1948. Nested on the
shores of Lower Lake
Minnetonka, the population is
still less than 500 and remains
primarily residential.
The area of Woodland is less
than a square mile. The city
offers approximately 3.6 miles of
public roads and nearly 6 miles
of shoreline on Lake
Minnetonka. Woodland shares
the same municipal office build-
ing with Greenwood and
Deephaven, and it contracts most
services with Deephaven,
Wayzata and Minnetonka. There
are no city employees.
Surrounded by Wayzata Bay
to the north and Robinsons Bay
to the east, the city has 50 per-
cent of its residents fortunate
enough to live on the
lakeshore.

Minnetonka Public Schools is
one of the largest school districts in
Minnesota.
The district serves 10 communi-
ties and has approximately 8,600
students enrolled in six elementary
schools, two middle schools and
one high school.
Excelsior, Minnetonka,
Shorewood, Tonka Bay,
Greenwood, Deephaven, Eden
Prairie, Chanhassen, Woodland
and Victoria are the communities
served by the district.
The schools integrate the latest
technology for learning, and also
have an expanding immersion pro-
gram.
National Backstroke winner and
2012 Olympic hopeful David
Plummer trains at the state-of-the-
art Minnetonka Aquatics Center,
located at Minnetonka Middle
School East. The facility opened
in 2009, and interest in the sport
has grown since the addition.
Along with the 2009 building
renovations, eight new tennis
courts at Minnetonka High
School, the Groveland Elementary
playground and the completion of
the new Black Box Theater”
round out recent additions in the
district. The Black Box Theater,
which opened in 2011, offers a
more intimate performance envi-
ronment.
The district boasts a 99.6 per-
cent graduation rate, and test
scores continue to rank among the
highest in the state.
The class of 2010 had a com-
posite average of 25.5 for the
ACT. The class also had 18
National Merit Semifinalists and
32 National Merit Commended
students.
Minnetonka is one of only three
districts in the state and 70 nation-
wide to earn a bond rating of Aaa
by Moody Investment Services.
The bond rating puts Minnetonka
in a category that is more favor-
able for borrowing money than 38
states, including Minnesota.
Athletics are also a strong point
in the district. During the 2009-
2010 school year in the Classic
Lake Conference, five
Minnetonka High School varsity
teams took top spot in conference
championships, and the Boys
Varsity Hockey took second at
state.

From a one-room log school
built in the 1850s, Wayzata
Public Schools has grown to
become a national leader in edu-
cation quality. Today, more than
10,000 students attend its seven
elementary schools, three middle
schools and its high school.
Wayzata High School, opened
in 1997, is the largest in
Minnesota, enrolling more than
3,500 students. Students at all
grade levels consistently score
near the top in state assessment
tests. High school students rou-
tinely score as much as three
points higher than the national
average on ACT tests.
The district’s boundaries cut a
huge swath through the West
Metro, including all or part of
Corcoran, Maple Grove,
Medicine Lake, Medina,
Minnetonka, Orono, Plymouth
and Wayzata. The district encom-
passes 38 square miles. In addi-
tion to being an educational pow-
erhouse, the district also is a sig-
nificant employer in the area
with about 1,300 workers, more
than half of them teachers.
Throughout its history, the dis-
trict has enjoyed strong commu-
nity support. Voters have
approved several key levies,
including an operating levy in
2005 that allowed the district to
add more than 55 new teaching
positions and lower class sizes. A
technology levy
boosted the
number of com-
puters and their use throughout
the district.
The tradition of taxpayer sup-
port harks back to 1870 when
voters approved spending $900
to build a new school on Bald
Hill, the site of the current
Wayzata City Hall. In 1880 it
was replaced with a red brick
building that featured folding
doors between two rooms – the
forerunner of the open school
concept.
The district’s schools have
spawned talented politicians, ath-
letes and actors. Minnesota Sen.
Amy Klobuchar is a 1978 gradu-
ate of Wayzata High School.
James Laurinaitis, stand-out line-
backer for The Ohio State
Buckeyes who was drafted by
the St. Louis Rams of the NFL,
is a 2005 graduate. Benjamin
Salisbury, who played Brighton
Sheffield on the hit series “The
Nanny,” is also an alumnus.

Lake community. In July 2009, the
city of Shorewood took over opera-
tions of the Southshore Community
Center. The cities of Excelsior,
Greenwood, Tonka Bay and
Deephaven, who all are part own-
ers of the center as well, make con-
tributions to keep the center ever
expanding.
While the center has become a
popular spot for events such as
weddings, reunions, community
events and meetings, it still offers
popular daily senior programs. An
array of programs has cropped up
to attract all-ages. Dance, garden-
ing, woodworking, art, aerobics
and cooking classes are only some
of the activities intended to attract
South Lake Minnetonka area visi-
tors and beyond.

Minnetonka Center for the ArtsFor years if somebody said they
were taking a class at the
Minnetonka Center for the Arts, it
meant they were actually going to
the center in Wayzata. The arts cen-
ter in Wayzata offers year-round art
classes for adults and children.
Classes are offered in a variety of
mediums and subjects. Some 4,000
people enroll every year.
And, children can take
Minnetonka Center for the Arts’
classes in Minnetonka - in the
unlikely setting of the bustling
Ridgedale Center. The Minnetonka
shopping center and the Wayzata-
based arts center have teamed up to
open a satellite location, offering
drop-in visual arts classes for chil-
dren, art birthday parties and a
retail space where artwork will be
sold to benefit the art center.
The spring 2010 schedule had
drop-in pre-school children and
children from ages 6 to 12. The
classes cover a variety of projects
and mediums including drawing,
painting, printmaking, sculpture,
bookmaking, fibers, cartoons and
illustration.

Known as “The City on the
Lake,” Greenwood is surround-
ed by St. Albans and Excelsior
bays. The city was founded in
1956 and now is home to
approximately 800 residents.
The South Lake city is also
home to the Old Log Theater,
which happens to be the oldest
theater in Minnesota. The the-
ater is owned by Don Stolz who
joined the theater in 1941, a
year after it opened.
The city has the charm of a
quiet lakeside community yet is
only minutes from the bustle of
the Twin Cities.
Though summer is the pri-
mary season to enjoy the beau-
ties of Greenwood, winter too
offers plenty for those who
enjoy the outdoors. The Lake
Minnetonka Regional Trail runs
through Greenwood, popular
with runners, bikers, cross-coun-
try skiers or those just out for a
stroll.

Around 11,000
years ago when gla-
ciers formed Lake
Minnetonka, it
attracted residents
and visitors. It has
been home and a des-
tination since.
With numerous
bays, there is approx-
imately 300 miles of
shoreline. Several
Native American
tribes occupied the
lake area until 1862.
Traveling through the
Minnetonka area
often, the Dakotah
and the Chippewa
were thought to be
traveling to Shakopee
and Lake Mille Lacs.
The Minnehaha
Creek where the old
Minnetonka Mills
were located provid-
ed an easy crossing.
In 1851, 2 million acres of
land was transferred from the
Native Americans to the U.S.
Government in the Treaty of
Mendota. Many chiefs refused to
sign the treaty due to a denial of
a request to keep the area around
Lake Minnetonka Indian land.
The treaty was enacted despite
the lack of signatures.
In 1850s when settlers
returned to the communities of
St. Anthony and Minneapolis
from an expedition telling of the
Lake Minnetonka area’s abun-
dant resources. Settlements
sprouted, and in 1852 Gov.
Alexander Ramsey gave the lake
its name “Minnetonka,” translat-
ed from the Sioux word for “big
water.” The area continued to
remain vibrant and grow with
more people arriving and boost-
ing the economy of the area.
The city of Excelsior was found-
ed in 1853, with
many other cities fol-
lowing.
Wayzata, Dakota
for “north shore,”
was founded in 1854
when Oscar Garrison
surveyed and
claimed much of
what is now Wayzata
after building a cabin
there two years prior.
It was in 1855
when the first steam-
boat, The Governor
Ramsey, cut through
the waters of Lake
Minnetonka. The
railroad eventually
was completed to
Wayzata and in 1905
the streetcars rolled
into Excelsior. With
expanded transit
opportunities to Lake
Minnetonka, it
quickly became a hot
destination.
With much easier access to
the lake, hotels, casinos and
amusement parks to name a few,
people from all over flocked in.
By one account, more than 60
hotels and boarding houses
opened and closed around
Minnetonka between 1853 and
1964.

HISTORY: TO PAGE 26
PAGE 25
The Museum of
Lake Minnetonka
It was 1855, and the first steam-
boat traversed Lake Minnetonka. The
vessel would lead the way in forming
a big part of the history of progress
around the lake. The small stern-
wheeler was the first of many boats
used on the lake.
A fleet of boats eventually cruised
the waters of Lake Minnetonka pro-
viding transportation
to the growing pop-
ulartion of the lake
area. The boats were
designed to cut
through the waters
providing passen-
gers with a very sta-
ble ride.
The now floating
museum is a 70-foot
long, 15-foot wide
and 62,000-pound
steamboat built in
1906. It sank in
1926. In 1980, the
boat was raised out
of Lake Minnetonka. Restorations on
the historic boat began in 1990, and
in 1996 the boat took its first public
cruise.
It was discovered in the summer
of 1979, submerged in 60 feet under
the water. The cypress hull seemed to
be in good condition. A massive
project to bring it out of the mud was
the last step before restoration began.
The 2011 regular operations were
set to begin May 28. Lake cruises and
trips between Excelsior and Wayzata
occur Saturdays, Sundays, during hol-
idays and special events. The excur-
sions include $5 rides during
Excelsior Girls Night Out on
Thursday nights during the summer.
The “Minnehaha” departs from
Wayzata and Excelsior docks. For a
detailed schedule, ticket prices and
more information: www.steamboat-
minnehaha.org.
Minnesota Streetcar Museum
During the time steamboats were
gaining popularity on Lake
Minnetonka, their land cousins —
the streetcars — were also playing a
large roll in the transportation of
people to and from Lake
Minnetonka. The boat schedules
were designed to dovetail with the
streetcars.
The streetcar system developed in
Minneapolis in 1875, and in 1904
plans were in the works to bring
them to Lake Minnetonka. The
Minnesota Streetcar Museum was
created in December 2004 as part of
the restructuring of the Minnesota
Transportation Museum, which led
to the streetcar and steamboat opera-
tions being transferred to MSM and
the Museum of Lake Minnetonka,
respectively, during the winter of
2004-05.
Currently, four
streetcars are located
in Excelsior, which
operate Saturdays
and Sundays, May to
September, and on
Thursdays May
through October.
The streetcar runs
between Water
Street and Old
Excelsior Road in
Excelsior. Riders can
board the trolley
near the intersection
of Excelsior
Boulevard and Minnetonka
Boulevard. They can also board
adjacent to the Excelsior-Lake
Minnetonka Historical Society
Museum, 305 Water St.

Things have come and gone
around Lake Minnetonka, but
what remains still draws thou-
sands each year. Historical
preservation has been a big part
of the lake area, and many of its
attractions showcase the rich
history.
The Excelsior Commons was
platted as public ground after
the area was first settled, and
remains a popular public gather-
ing place today. The Old Log
Theater in Greenwood is one of
the oldest running theaters in the
country.
The Wayzata Depot stands
today largely unchanged from
when it was built in 1906 as part
of James J. Hill’s Great
Northern Railroad.
A historic walking tour of
Minnetonka Mills is offered.
The Burwell House, former
home of Minnetonka Mills
Company manager Charles H.
Burwell, is still a meeting point
for city events, just like other
historical treasures around Lake
Minnetonka.

There are many different libraries
in the Lake Minnetonka area for
people to enjoy. Here is some infor-
mation on libraries in the Hennepin
County Library system.
Minnetonka LibraryThe Minnetonka Library is a small,
but busy library located on the corner
of Highway 101 and Excelsior
Boulevard, at 17524 Excelsior
Boulevard in Minnetonka, on a lovely
wooded lot adjacent to nearby public
trails.
The library is within close proxim-
ity to several preschools, two local
elementary schools, Minnetonka High
School and shopping centers at
Highways 7 and 101.
The generous Friends of the
Minnetonka Library provide funding
for many programs. The Friends wel-
come new members; by joining the
Friends, you’ll also be a member of
the Library Foundation of Hennepin
County. Many wonderful volunteers
assist with tasks that help staff and
keep the building attractive and invit-
ing for all customers.
Generations of customers appreci-
ate the excellent customer service
provided by Minnetonka Library
staff. A grandfather shared with staff
how wonderful the Minnetonka
library is and how important it has
been in his and his family’s lives. He
related how he and his wife used to
bring their grandchildren to summer
programs and what a big part staff has
played in helping his granddaughter
develop a love of books. He said she
is now 13 and has her nose in a book
every time he sees her, he said.
For more information: 612-543-
5725 or www.hclib.org
Excelsior LibraryThe Excelsior Library has been
located in the Excelsior City Hall
complex since 1965, and in an earlier
location served south Lake
Minnetonka residents since 1922. The
Excelsior Library is located at 343
Third Street in Excelsior.
People of all ages value the pro-
grams and services of this small, but
busy library. “Baby Storytime” on
Mondays and “Family Storytime” on
Wednesdays are popular with families
and daycare groups. “Storytime pro-
grams are so much more than the
good selection of books that are read.
It is a wonderful introduction to
words and the seed has been planted
for a love of books,” said one grand-
mother who frequents the library.
“Children love to hug Brary Beaver,
the library’s wooden mascot, on their
way back to the children’s area.”
Students from three grade schools
within walking distance of the library
visit several times during the school
year as part of their curriculum. The
highlight at the end of first grade for
students at Excelsior Elementary
School is a trip to the library to
receive their first library card.
Adult customers visit for Internet
access, tax forms and access to
Hennepin County Library’s collec-
tion. Librarian Jane Stein is a well-
known expert in adult reader’s advi-
sory and has lots of local fans.
The very active Friends of the
Excelsior Library provide funding for
programs and library participation in
community events such as Apple Day,
Arctic Fever and “One Book One
Community” programs. New mem-
bers are welcome. Many wonderful
volunteers assist with tasks that help
staff and keep the building attractive
and inviting for all customers.
For more information:
www.hclib.org or 612-543-6350.
Wayzata LibraryIn the heart of Wayzata, at the top
of the hill overlooking beautiful Lake
Minnetonka, the Wayzata Library
enjoys the perfect spot for reading
every season of the year.
Books, magazines, DVDs and CDs
for all ages are available for checkout.
Comfortable reading areas with
breathtaking views of the lake are per-
fect for enjoying a few minutes or a
few hours.
The children’s area is rich with
learning for readers and pre-readers.
Literacy activities keep changing
throughout the year. The Wayzata
Library Children’s Garden is open
during the growing season for explor-
ing the native plants, relaxing on a
reading bench, discovering secrets in
the wall and under the troll bridge or
watching the butterflies. Teens have
their own room with computers and
space for working on group projects.
The Friends of the Wayzata
Library, in addition to raising money
at their semi-annual book sales,
enrich the library with many hours of
volunteer work. Friends always wel-
come new members to help in facili-
tating programs, shelving books,
tending the garden, creating displays
and representing the library in the
community.
The Wayzata Library is located at
620 Rice Street in Wayzata.
