In a span of twenty five years, Lake Minnetonka was transformed from a remote outpost into a fashionable tourist destination. Wayzata was founded in 1854, followed by Deephaven, Orono, and nearly a dozen other townships and municipalities. 150 years later, Lake Minnetonka remains a favorite playground for thousands of visitors annually. A number of cruise lines still offer tours of the lake, some even operate restored antique ferry boats! There are dozens of beautifully maintained parks and beaches. And special events, exhibits and festivities of all kinds are held throughout the year.
