Christmas Lake is located just east of the City of Excelsior on Minnesota Highway 7. Part of the lake is in the City of Shorewood, Hennepin County, and the other part is in the City of Chanhassen, Carver County. Christmas Lake is more than just a place, it is a community of people. Christmas Lake is a beautifully clear deep lake, shaped like a heart and fills the hearts of all who live and recreate here in the Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring.
Christmas Lake is surrounded by private homes and properties. There is not a road that circumnavigates the lake. Public Access is in the Northwest corner of the lake accessed from Merry Lane. The Public Access is monitored for invasive species with a staffed AIS Inspection Station during the spring, summer and fall. Access is to the lake is limited to the number of parking spots available per City of Shorewood ordinance.
Christmas Lake is a clear spring fed lake enjoyed by residents year round. It measures a mile in the north – south direction and an undulating half mile in the east to west direction.
This heart shaped lake geology was shaped by the iceberg that created a ninety foot ridge and ninety foot lake depth on the east shore, tailings of the iceberg created a shallower west shore.
