Cooks Bay is around 223 acres and has lakeside access to Surfside Beach - one of the most popular beaches on Lake Minnetonka.
Water Quality:
The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District has granted Cooks Bay a B in water quality. The water quality is generally good, but algae may limit swimming towards the end of the summer.

Lake Access:
The Surfside Boat Launch is located right on Cooks Bay and in the heart of downtown Mound. The boat launch offers free on and off-street parking on Bartlett Boulevard, granting easy access to launch boats in and out of the water.
Amenities:
Surfside Beach is located on Cooks Bay. The beach offers amenities like a playground, free parking, picnic tables, and grills. Alongside Surfside Beach is the Surfside Boat Launch, which can launch boats and jetskis in and out of Lake Minnetonka. The lake's oldest jet ski rental establishment, Bay Rentals, operates adjacent to the boat launch. Not only do they offer jet ski rentals, but kayaks, paddle boards, lily pads, and hydro bikes as well. Once the sun has set over the western bay, Cooks Bay has dining options like Al & Almas Supper Club and Surfside Bar and Grill. Al & Almas is directly on the water and has docks available for customers to hop off the lake and grab a bite. Al & Almas also offers Lake Minnetonka chartered cruises where you can eat dinner while a luxury cruiser chauffeurs you across Lake Minnetonka's 114 miles of shoreline. If you're looking for more casual dining, Surfside Bar and Grill is just a five-minute walk from Surfside Beach.
