Warmest water of the year. Fish hold deeper or feed in low light; swimming and watersports are at their best.
Estimates are modeled, not measured. Actual temperatures vary with depth, wind mixing, and recent weather — verify conditions before swimming, boating, or heading onto ice.
Wisconsin DNR fisheries survey
Structured LakeList extraction from the 2022 DNR fisheries survey. Population estimates, density, and catch-rate indices use different units, methods, and scopes, so each value is presented in its original form rather than normalized against a different measure.
Minnesota DNR LakeFinder lists a Standard Survey for Minnetonka dated 2022-06-06. The structured catch summary contains 32 CPUE rows across 19 species and 2 gear types.

Depth FAQ
Lake Minnetonka has surveyed depth contours down to 100 feet, but no separately verified maximum depth is on record yet.
Yes. LakeList publishes a free interactive depth contour map of Lake Minnetonka at a typical 10-foot interval, with an optional 3D underwater view, derived from Minnesota DNR survey data.
The interactive depth contours are derived from Minnesota DNR. Each contour set passes a visual QA review against the source document before it is published. The depths are from an official Minnesota DNR survey (measured bathymetric contours); not for navigation.
