It was the kind of April evening that reminds you why we live here.
At 66 degrees, with sunshine pushing through soft clouds and barely a whisper of wind, the Panoway Plaza and Lakewalk came alive with the quiet joy of spring. My wife, our middle daughter, and I set out just before sunset and found Wayzata at its best—warm, welcoming, and beautifully unhurried.
Locals and visitors strolled the boardwalk, stopped for scoops at Ben & Jerry’s, and listened to live music drifting through the air. Couples cozied up on benches, families lingered by the lake, and clusters of friends laughed together in the golden light. Over at CoV, the patio buzzed with early diners soaking in the view.
One highlight? Loki, Wayzata’s beloved K-9, out for a well-earned leg stretch near the Section Foreman House, reminding everyone who’s really in charge of lakeside charm.
The walk reminded us of something simple and true: in Wayzata, even a casual evening stroll near Wayzata Bay can feel like a small celebration.
