A warm June day and time for a trip over to the new docks on Lost Lake. Lost Lake is a part of Lake Minnetonka that has completely filled in, and is now a large wetlands area. A few years ago the decision was made to dredge a channel through Lost Lake to accommodate the new docks and slips for downtown Mound, Minnesota.
New Slips at Mound
The new slips don't get much boating traffic. Maybe that because no one on the lake knows about them, or maybe it's because there's very little to do in Mound once you get docked. The nearest bar/restaurant is a three-block walk down the street. And although the docks are great, and the Mound greenway is very pretty, it all seems to have been built for a party that has yet to happen.
Near a sign commemorating a walking trail dedicated to the Andrews Sisters, we found the micro cache at Lost Lake. That's not all we found. Here's a picture of a garter snake sunning itself among the gardens there.
