Lake Minnetonka Country

West of the Twin Cities, the land softens into a country of water and woods, where a great lake spreads its arms into a maze of bays and a patchwork of forest, marsh, and pasture wraps the shore. This is a place where wild ground and worked ground sit side by side, where a nature preserve and a working farm share the same rolling horizon. Come along, and let this quiet country open in front of us. Welcome to Lake Minnetonka Country. Filmed September 2023.
