More Access to Lake Minnetonka: Stepdowns on the Panoway Lakewalk to be Installed This Spring One of the most anticipated design components of the 1,200 ft long lakewalk has been the installation of the community-driven “stepdowns.” Unfortunately, due to needed design tweaks, the stepdowns were not able to be installed last year. The two stepdowns were originally designed to give even more access to the lake. Community members will now have another place to sit and even dip their toes into Lake Minnetonka! They will be installed this spring adjacent to the section of the lakewalk with benches. The City will also be installing life preservers nearby as well as signage to indicate that fishing, swimming, and docking boats is prohibited. |
