Great trip! We arrived at approximately 5 pm and started the loop drive around Lake of the Isles. There were several miles worth of walking and biking trails that encircled the lake, that provided spectacular views of the water. There were many people out and about that day, and there were plenty of parking spaces to be found. The loop drive was clearly marked, and also included signs pointing to nearby attractions. Tip: I recommend spending an hour here in order to have a nice relaxing walk next to the water.

This is a lovely spot for running, walking or just having a nice meal by the lake with friends. The park alone is beautiful but you will have the chance to see some gorgeous houses along the way, as well as the lake. I mean, what else would you want.

It was a bittersweet trip for my daughter and myself. My Husband was born and raised on S. Newton Street, what a magical childhood for him and his twin brother, so breathtakingly beautiful, we have visited other time , stayed at Grand View Lodge, etc. Minnesota never dissappoints !!!!

I walked around this lake twice during my first visit to Minneapolis. I stayed in Uptown and really didn't love the location of my hotel too much but very much enjoyed walking around this lake. Beautiful place with gorgeous old houses all around. Many people walking, running, biking, dogs. Just a great relaxing place!
