Summer fun

Here's a top five list of Minneapolis public parks in my humble opinion... I don't think too many would argue with it as they are some of the most popular places in the city. They are great year round but especially in the summer of course.

5. Lake Calhoun- A little too populated but fun to watch folks out on the busiest lake.
4. Mississippi River - Not as smooth as some of the other trails but pretty scenic with great views of both the river and nice homes.
3. Minnehaha Creek Bike Trail - Riding on the trail from the Falls to Lake Harriet or vice versa on a trail that is completely surrounded by trees and water makes for an awesome afternoon.
2. Minnehaha Falls - Great to hang out watching the falls and enjoying either the concession stand or DQ across the street.
1. Lake Harriet - Just shy of 3 miles around, there is a concert at least once a day all summer long. What better way to end a day than with a run or bike ride followed by taking in free entertainment?
