Cooks Bay (Minnesota)
Cooks Bay in Mound, Minnesota is one of many bays that make up Lake Minnetonka. Its area is about 550 acres (223 ha). It is west of Island Park and east of Mound’s Highlands neighborhood. Between the 1870s and the 1920s, Cooks Bay was known for its family hotels, including the Chapman House, Bartlett Place, Buena Vista Hotel, Hotel Kern, Hotel Dewey, and the Sunset Villa. Surfside Park, on the north shore of Cook’s Bay, was once the home of Surfside Casino, a popular destination that began as the Chapman Boathouse in the 1870s. Today, Cook’s Bay has a public boat launch located at the park, and the old Mound Depot relocated in 1967.
