Cooks Bay (Minnesota)

It is west of Island Park, and east of Mound's Highlands neighborhood.

Surfside Park, on the north shore of Cook's Bay, was once the home of Surfside Casino, a popular destination that began as the Chapman Boathouse in the 1870s.

Today, Cook's Bay has a public boat launch located at the park, and the old Mound Depot relocated in 1967.
