Join us as we explore some of the boathouses of Lake Minnetonka by bus. We will be allowed to walk through at least four boathouses during each tour session, with a different set of boathouses featured in the morning and afternoon. Author Melinda Nelson and photographer Karen Melvin of Boathouses of Lake Minnetonka will accompany the tours and share stories and information about these unique (and endangered) structures captured in their book.

Our in-house chef Melinda Alves will be catering lunch, so you can enjoy a half or full day with us exploring these incredible boathouses.

Space is limited so be sure to reserve your spot today!
