Lake of the Isles, Minneapolis

One of my favorite trails in Minneapolis is the trail around the Lake of the Isles. The trail is about 2.5 miles, so not too far, but is a great place to run, bike, or go on a walk. It is a year-round destination, and I've been there many times.

Yesterday it was 70 and sunny, which made for a great run around the lake. Of course, I wasn't the only one with this bright idea, and the trail was very busy with walkers and runners. I could tell, though, that it wasn't as busy as nearby lake Calhoun, a favorite place to see and be seen here in Minneapolis.

When the weather isn't so warm, the trail is a nice walk, as it isn't too far, and when the lake is frozen over, there are ski and snowshoe trails on the lake.

One of the best things about the area is that the trail around lake of the isles connects you to other great great trails, including Lake Calhoun and the greenway. All in all, its a great place to hang out!
