Minnetrista

Located on the western coves of Lake Minnetonka is the City of Minnetrista. The city is rich in woodlands and agricultural farmlands. If you are wondering about the origin of the name of the city, it was taken from the Native American word “mine” which stands for water, and “trista” which means crooked. The city is 32 square miles long and is home to a little over 6,000 residents all of which enjoy the quaint rural setting that is Minnetrista. Because the city is an agricultural region, most of the work activities in here involve horses, hay, beans, and corn. The city is strategically located in between the suburbs and rural regions which provide its inhabitants the best of both worlds.
Schools here are run by the local school districts controlled by an elected school board. Some of the schools that serve Minnetrista City include the Westonka Public Schools, Watertown-Mayer Public Schools, Waconia Public Schools, and the Delano Public Schools.
The city is filed with a lot of attractions such as the Old Log Theater which is one of the oldest theaters in the country near the shores of Lake Minnetonka, Big Stone Mini Golf, private and public cruises via Al and Alma’s Super Club and Charter Cruises, Lady of the Lake Cruises, Burl Oaks Golf Club, Air Assault Paintball, and the Gillespie Center. The Gillespie Center was built and is being maintained through the contributions of the citizens of Minnetrista.

I have lived in Minnetrista for many years and we raised our family there. People are so welcoming to everyone you don't want to leave. We are huge fans of the Westonka SD. Smaller class sizes and enrollment than any of it's bigger neighbors allowed our kids to play football and hockey which they would not have done in the other schools. Also being a few miles west of Wayzata made home prices become much more affordable and the possibility of owning a lake home better. Minnetrista is a great choice.
