This is our go-to family beach and lake...and has been for years. They removed the lifeguards which, in my opinion, has changed the environment towards more unruly behavior. The grassy area is often littered with trash and many pets are off-leash.

Bring water shoes to be comfy. There is a park, restrooms and shower. They have rentals before 5pm. Certain days. Really fun time!

About Lake Minnewashta
Nestled in the heart of a wonderful regional park, Lake Minnewashta offers a delightful blend of adventure and relaxation, perfect for families and solo travelers alike. Known for its spacious grassy areas and diverse range of activities, it's a beloved spot for locals seeking a quick escape. While the setting is naturally serene, it's worth noting that the environment has seen some changes in recent years, including the absence of lifeguards, which has led to increased self-management among visitors. Whether you're drawn in by the promise of invigorating water sports or the allure of a lazy afternoon by the beach, Lake Minnewashta does not disappoint. Boating enthusiasts will appreciate the multiple designated spots for various watercraft activities. The lake also boasts great facilities, including well-maintained bathrooms, a playground for children, and convenient boat launch areas. While admission is currently free, the lake's popularity means it can become quite crowded on weekends, so plan accordingly. If you're looking to rent equipment, note that rentals are available before 5 PM on certain days, adding a layer of convenience for those who like to paddle or cruise along the waters on a whim. Families will particularly enjoy the well-equipped park areas and the ample space for picnicking and sunbathing. Despite some challenges with litter and off-leash pets, the charm of Lake Minnewashta holds strong, presenting an idyllic slice of nature for visitors to enjoy, explore, and unwind.
