On a recent day, I set out to go canoeing, starting on lake Calhoun, and through the chain of lakes in Minneapolis. The weather was nice and the boat rental shop was busy, but we still got a boat quickly.
I haven't done a lot of canoeing in my life, but I've always enjoyed being close to the water. On a hot day in the summer, this made for an excellent activity. After renting the boat, we were off into lake Calhoun, and very shortly into a channel between lake Calhoun and lake of the isles. Naturally, the lakes were full of people on kayaks, canoes, pedal boats and a paddle boarder or two. I didn't go out for peace and quiet, though, I went out to see the scenery and get some exercise in the process.
Eventually, we made our way across lake of the isles and into the channel before cedar lake. Once we got into cedar lake, we paddled our way over to a tunnel that led t brownie lake, where we were rewarded with a large dinosaur in the water. After touching the dinosaur (don't worry, he was nice), we made our way back towards lake calhoun.
We ended up canoeing for a little under 2 hours, and really enjoyed it. Does this mean I will buy a canoe someday? I don't know for sure, but it is definitely a nice way to enjoy the outdoors.
