Lost Lake is located entirely within the city limits of Mound, Minnesota. It is part of Lake Minnetonka, connected by a channel to Cooks Bay, and considered by the city of Mound to be important to its re-development plans with the hope being that boat users will increase its downtown business traffic.[1] In the past, lake steamers used Lost Lake's channel or canal to bring tourists into the downtown area, when Lake Minnetonka was a resort area. The channel has been re-dredged, docks have been built, and the clean-up of nearby contaminated soil has been done.[when?] The lake's name is assumed to be based on its being nearly completely overgrown by cattails and reeds. But that is said[by whom?] to serve the valuable purpose of filtering the surface runoff into Lake Minnetonka.
