Minnehaha, Historic steamboat in Lake Minnetonka, Minnesota.
The Minnehaha steamboat stretches 70 feet long and operates as a passenger vessel on Lake Minnetonka, maintaining its original wooden construction and steam engine.
Built in 1906 by the Twin City Rapid Transit Company, the Minnehaha carried passengers between lakeside communities until 1926 before being recovered from the lake in 1980.
The National Register of Historic Places listed Minnehaha in 1981, documenting its role in transportation development and maritime heritage of Lake Minnetonka communities.
The steamboat departs from the port of Excelsior during summer months, offering regular scheduled trips that showcase the shores of Lake Minnetonka.
After spending 54 years submerged in Lake Minnetonka, local volunteers extracted and restored the vessel to its original operating condition.
