Galpin Lake in Hennepin County, Minnesota
This map has 8 layers
Galpin Lake is a 44-acre lake in Hennepin County, Minnesota, split between the cities of Excelsior to the north and Shorewood to the south. Originally part of a much smaller body of water called Mud Lake, the lake was reshaped by the construction of Minnesota State Highway 7, which bisected the original wetland and gave Galpin Lake its present form. Anglers in the area can find fishing guides and charters nearby, with the lake offering a quieter, more secluded alternative to the bustling waters close by.
Galpin Lake sits just minutes from the heart of the Lake Minnetonka area, one of the most popular lake destinations in the Twin Cities metro. The communities of Excelsior and Shorewood are known for their charming downtown shops, lakefront dining, and easy access to Lake Minnetonka's many bays and marinas, making this corner of Hennepin County a sought-after spot for lake living just 15 miles from downtown Minneapolis.
A laser-cut wooden map of Galpin Lake makes a unique and personal piece of wall art for any Excelsior or Shorewood area home, cabin, or lake retreat. The natural wood top layer traces the shoreline of this small, storied Hennepin County lake in fine detail, while the light-to-dark blue gradient layers bring its quiet character to life. A handcrafted gift perfectly suited for local lake lovers, Minnetonka area residents, and anyone with ties to this lesser-known corner of the Twin Cities.
