A New Chapter Begins for Panoway One of the bright spots in 2020 was the transformation of Wayzata’s lakefront with the completion of Phase I of Panoway on Wayzata Bay. After nearly a decade of planning, residents finally got to enjoy the benefits of this new and improved connection between Lake Street and Lake Minnetonka. The success of Phase I has galvanized the effort for additional improvements planned as the City of Wayzata and the Wayzata Conservancy work to fulfill the vision of Panoway.
