Minnetonka

Minnetonka comes from the Dakota words “great water,” in honor of 14,000-acre Lake Minnetonka. Found eight miles west of Minneapolis and 25 minutes away from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, residents have balanced redevelopment with a citywide park renewal program to maintain existing green space. An extensive trail system offers 38 miles of interconnected trails throughout the city. Most of the city’s employment opportunities come from surrounding retail shopping centers and nationally recognized firms.
