Welcome to YBC – Minnetonka (Smith’s Bay)! This is one of two locations we have on this lake. Lake Minnetonka is Minnesota’s ninth largest lake, popular among boaters, sailors, and fishermen alike. There are over 14,500 acres of water here to explore! According to lakeminnetonka.com, “the lake was formed by glacial melting in the last ice age, and covers 125 miles of shoreline. This massive, sprawling body of water is actually 40 virtually independent bodies of water.” Check out our Fleet Sheet!
