Sure, Minnesota is called the "Land of 1,000 Lakes," but that doesn’t necessarily mean you can take a dive into all of them. Sometimes, the lakes around Minneapolis can seem smaller than a backyard pool.

If you’re looking for a place to dip your toes (and have some fun), head to Minnetonka. Lake Minnetonka is a suburban escape featuring one of southern Minnesota’s largest lakes—around 14,000 acres! It's an upscale area filled with marinas, big boats and even bigger homes. Add to the mix 42 parks and over 40 miles of trails among prairies, wetlands and trees, and you have a ‘hood that places natural beauty and resources at the top of its priority list.

A drive through the tree-lined streets of Minnetonka, past the lovely homes and Minnetonka apartments, will lead you to plenty of shops and eateries to hold your interest. But, every so often you may feel the need for a little more excitement—head to downtown Minneapolis, just eight miles west of here, for museums, cafes and concerts. The water will wait.
