Lake Minnetonka comprises over 14,000 acres in Minnesota, and is a scenic tourist destination for many travelers seeking a serene environment for vacationing. The lake derives its name from the first residents of the area, who referred to the body of water as Minnetonka, or Big Water. In 1852, Alexander Ramsey officially registered the name of Lake Minnetonka, and in the following year, the first hotel was built on its shores. Steamboats surveying the lake became popular among tourists in the 1880s, allowing visitors to the area to experience the abundant wildlife and beautiful scenery of this picturesque area.
