Built around the wooded shores of Lake Minnetonka, Greenwood grew into a small residential city in Hennepin County, west of Minneapolis. Its setting is defined by the lake’s irregular shoreline, bays and islands, within a network of communities shaped by life on the water. The name Minnetonka comes from Dakota words commonly translated as “great water,” reflecting the region’s Indigenous heritage. Greenwood is a quiet point from which to explore the broader Lake Minnetonka area and nearby towns such as Excelsior.
