About Lost Lake Bay
Location Highlights
Lost Lake Bay is a tranquil, no-wake waterway that connects Cooks Bay to the heart of downtown Mound, Minnesota. Nestled within the Mound Westonka School District, the bay is known for its peaceful ambiance and convenient proximity to residential developments like the townhomes on Lost Lake Court, which offer pool access and boat slips right on the bay. Public docks owned by the city of Mound line the shores, providing easy access for boaters to explore downtown Mound, encouraging a steady flow of visitors to local businesses and enhancing the community’s vibrant lakeside atmosphere.
Water Quality
Lost Lake Bay plays a vital role in maintaining the overall health of Lake Minnetonka, with abundant cattails and reeds acting as natural filters for surface runoff. Despite its ecological benefits, the bay’s maximum depth of 3 feet limits water circulation, leading the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District to give it a "C" rating for water quality.
Boating Restrictions
Lost Lake Bay is designated as a no-wake zone, ensuring a calm and safe environment for boating and recreational activities.
Lake Access
The city of Mound has installed 14 public docks at the north end of the bay, offering convenient access for boaters. These docks are within walking distance of several local eateries, making it a perfect spot for visitors to dock and dine.
Amenities
The bay’s public docks offer direct access to a variety of local businesses, predominantly restaurants and cafés. Notable establishments include Lost Lake Creamery, Dakota Junction, and Hibachi Daruma, providing a range of dining options for both locals and visitors alike.
