Long Description:Nestled on the steep shorelines of one of Minnesota's most
beautiful lakes, Lake Minnetonka Regional Park is the Three Rivers
Park District's newest addition. The 292-acre park features glacial
hills and ravines, pristine remnants of Minnesota's Big Woods
forest, stunning vistas of the lake and nearby islands, as well as
a host of fascinating historic and archaeological sites. Lake
Minnetonka Regional Park also has the unique distinction of being
the first park devoted to interpreting the rich history and
archaeology of the landscape.
After visiting the ruins, walk the trails down to the lake. Deer
and turkey abound in this section of the park.
