It was ok, it'd be better without all the traffic etc... I can see why it is an attractive place to live it is to crowded for my taste.

Nice twisties, moderate speed. See nice lake homes and boats. The lake has many bays and channels. Plenty of places to stop for food and drink. Lord Fletchers Old Lake Lodge is a great place for weekend people watching on a waterfront channel between parts of lake Minnetonka. Good food and bar.
