Lake Minnetonka’s West Arm, Jennings Bay Highlights
Lake Minnetonka is one of Minnesota’s most prestigious and activity rich lakes, offering over 14,000 acres of interconnected water. Jennings Bay, part of the quieter West Arm, provides a peaceful yet recreationally robust setting.
• Water & Fishing Conditions
Weedlines between 22–26 feet hold strong walleye populations, while panfish, northern pike, largemouth bass, and crappies are abundant year-round. In winter, ice fishing thrives thanks to reliable freeze patterns and productive structures near shore.
• Year-Round Recreation
In warmer months, Jennings Bay comes alive with boating, paddleboarding, jet skiing, sailing, and peaceful cruises at sunset. Fall brings brilliant foliage reflections and peak walleye season. Come winter, enjoy snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and ice angling on 12–18” of lake ice.
• Conservation & Community Stewardship
Local organizations such as the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) and Lake Minnetonka Conservation District (LMCD) maintain a strong commitment to ecological health, offering invasive species mitigation, including a permit-based carp bow-fishing program, and shoreline preservation programs to ensure lake vitality for generations to come.
