Lake Edina is a 24-acre body of water of unknown depth near the southern border of Edina. The lake is maintained by stormwater runoff from much of south portion of the city. The lake is high in nutrients but that makes it hard to swim in or fish in. As such it a non-public lake. While the lake cannot be accessed recreationally, it offers wonderful scenery for the houses along its shores.
