Coney Island of the West
Coney Island of the West is an island in Lake Waconia in the U.S. state of Minnesota that was developed into an early summer resort. Its heyday was from the 1880s to the 1920s, but it continued operating up to 1960. The 31-acre (13 ha) island is part of Waconia Township just .5 miles (0.80 km) off the shore from the city of Waconia. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 for having local significance in the themes of commerce and entertainment/recreation. The island site, with its ruins of hotels, cottages, and parks, was nominated for being one of Minnesota's most popular early resorts, and an early expression of the trend of urban dwellers journeying to Minnesota's lakes and parks for recreation.
