Purgatory Park, Minnetonka Township — photo spot in 17315 Excelsior Blvd, Minnetonka, MN 55345, USA
Purgatory Park, Minnetonka Township
Score4.2Small bluff park overlooking Lake Minnetonka with rocky shoreline, oak savanna trails and wide lake vistas — ideal for lake panoramas, sunset skies, shoreline foregrounds and seasonal wildflowers. Best at sunrise or golden-hour sunset for warm side-light and reflections; spring and fall offer color, winter gives stark ice textures. Free entry with small parking near Excelsior Blvd; trails are short but uneven so wear footwear. Weekdays and early mornings minimize visitors.
