Tetonka Lake and Sakatah Lake form the isthmus on which the charming Minnesota town of Waterville lies. These rustic Minnesota lakes offer some of the most laid back recreation in the state, along with all the charm of a small town vibe. Come see for yourself!

The first - and largest - of Waterville's two bodies of water is Tetonka Lake. It's less well-known than its smaller neighbor, and we don't mind.

The quieter, less crowded Tentonka Lake is perfect for a day of fishing or simply kicking back on the shore and relaxing.

Connected to Tetonka Lake by a short stretch of the Cannon River - which runs through Waterville - Sakatah Lake is the better known of the town's two lakes.
