It’s that time of year again when fall colors begin to show on the trees, Friday nights are spent under the lights watching football, and the boating season on Lake Minnetonka and Wayzata Bay comes to an end. Elisha and I enjoyed leasing a slip for our Sea Ray on Libbs Lake and boating to Big Island and Maynard’s for burgers and drinks. We had a wonderful time this summer, but pulled our Amberjack out of the Gray’s Bay boat landing last Saturday in the pouring rain. If you still have your boat in the water, enjoy these last couple of days this week and get ready for frost advisories and cool breezes. Chalk up another year on Minnetonka for me, as we have had trouble getting out with all the happenings. Too bad summer doesn’t last 9 months out of the year hear in Wayzata, MN. Before we know it it will be time for the Chilly Open. -
WAYZATA, MN — The sun-kissed shores of Wayzata Bay witnessed a canine escapade as Lexus and I indulged in a refreshing dip in the cool waters last Saturday.
Despite the reluctance of many boaters to brave the waters following recent storms that stirred up the chill, our aquatic adventure became a testament to the resilience of Wayzata’s summer spirit.
The aftermath of the storms left the waters slightly unsettled, dissuading most boaters from taking the plunge. However, the allure of Wayzata Bay proved irresistible, beckoning us to explore its depths and relish the joy of a summer day.
As captured in the accompanying photo, my attempt to capture a memorable moment was playfully interrupted by Lexus’s determined dog paddling.

As the sun beamed down and the thermometer graciously held at 68 degrees, Elisha and I embarked on yet another delightful adventure, taking a leisurely stroll along the charming Lake Street in Wayzata. The lively atmosphere was a tapestry of scenes—couples young and old sharing moments, furry canine companions adding their own brand of joy to the ambiance.
What set this afternoon apart was the mesmerizing sight of sailboats, cruisers, runabouts, and classic boats gracefully navigating Wayzata Bay and Lake Minnetonka. A stark contrast from the previous week, these vessels painted the waters with a vibrant display, turning the bay into a bustling spectacle of maritime beauty.
Our town, already a picturesque haven, transformed into a bustling waterfront as these boats zipped across the lake. The gentle hum of boat engines and the crisp breeze off the water added a new dimension to the familiar downtown soundscape. It was a reminder that Wayzata isn’t just a place to live; it’s a destination where every day brings new delights and surprises, making each stroll along Lake Street a celebration of the beauty that surrounds us.

Anglers in Wayzata are experiencing success in catching crappies, particularly in the shallows of Wayzata Bay. Firsthand reports reveal favorable outcomes as fishermen have pulled panfish from the Lagoon at Shaver Park, off the docks at the Boatworks, and in front of Sunsets. Fishing enthusiasts are encouraged to explore these locations for a chance at a fruitful catch. Stay tuned for more updates on the Wayzata fishing scene.

Elisha and I spent a couple of hours walking around downtown Wayzata today. It was 69 degrees and wonderfully warm after what seems like the longest exit from winter in recent memory. There were tons of people out walking and enjoying the warm sunshine and the views of Lake Minnetonka and Wayzata Bay.While we were there, we observed couples out walking, young children playing on swingsets, plenty of canine companions, and someone out in a boat running through the remains of the ice in front of the Boatworks building! We could here the ice crunching against the hull of the fiberglass boat. That cannot be good for the boat!!!
People are so excited to get on Lake Minnetonka that they can’t resist boating even when there is still ice on the water! I can relate, as we went and examined our Sea Ray in storage today and starting to plan getting it ready for the summer.For a more detailed pictoral or slideshow of our day you can visit the following links: View Album Play slideshow.
