The water we love

Prior Lake, Minnesota

Just 25 miles southwest of Minneapolis, Prior Lake is actually two connected lakes — Upper and Lower Prior — totaling roughly 1,300 acres of open water, quiet bays, and welcoming shoreline.

It's one of the most beloved recreational lakes in the Twin Cities area: home to bald eagles and great blue herons, lined with cozy coves perfect for swimming, and big enough for a full day of cruising without ever feeling crowded.
