Beautiful in all seasons . A destination
Beautiful in all seasons. Ran around the lake a few years ago for the Minneapolis Thanksgiving Turkey Trot, and enjoy coming in the summer spring and fall for a walk around the lake and people and dog watching. There are parking lots, and often street parking available .

Worth a visit to get away from the busy city!
We had a nice walk around Lake Harriet - a short walk as one of our party had limited mobility but it was flat and had easy paths with a lot of shade. We saw families swimming in the lake and there are also paddle boards/canoes to hire. And a cafe which is ok for a snack and drink.

Picturesque lake and great little playground
We came to the lake to take Master Eight to the playground. It would have been nice to walk around the lake, but Master Eight was sadly not inclined to be dragged away from the play area, and it was probably too cold for us Sydneysiders who had just come from more summery temperatures. We enjoyed marvelling at the frozen water, though it was sadly too thin to walk on in early April. I can imagine it would be a lovely area to go for a walk when the weather warms up (for those accustomed to more temperate climes, anyway; we spotted some locals in shorts, so they were clearly enjoying the relatively milder weather compared to that of the deep winter months). There is a bandstand by the water and I’m sure that outdoor concerts here in the summer would be very picturesque.
