Review & FAQ:
The name Lake Minnetonka comes from a Sioux word that means “big water,” and this big lake, which contains a surface area of over 14,000 acres, certainly lives up to the name. Located in Minnesota, Lake Minnetonka has been a popular tourist destination for centuries, with steamboat tours and ferries operating regularly on the water as well as locals fishing or relaxing. Today, visitors can still explore the lake via a steamboat cruise aboard the historic Minnehaha or rent a pontoon boat or speedboat for a day out on the water. Minnetonka is a popular fishing area, with many national tournaments held there every year, and anglers will find a veritable paradise in its waters.
