About Shorewood

Shorewood is a Lake Minnetonka-area city in Hennepin County, incorporated from Excelsior Township in 1956 to avoid annexation by neighboring municipalities. It wraps around parts of the southern shore of Lake Minnetonka and includes several lake-oriented neighborhoods. The city is part of the Minnetonka Public School District, and its identity is strongly residential and recreational. Shorewood feels like a quieter lake suburb, with water access, wooded roads, and close ties to Excelsior and the western Twin Cities.
