Lake Of The Isles

This is a great lake to exercise, walk, run, or people watch , walk or run with your dog. Just be warned, bikers think they're the only ones here so despite the laws, they will run you over gladly.

Last night walked the Loppet Urban Cross Country Ski Festival . First time on a frozen lake . One of the coolest things ever! It was amazing. Hundreds and hundreds of people walking. Really Amazing!

I've been circumnavigating this lake since 1959, w/o supervision since 1962. It's just under 3 miles around, and the two bridges over the lagoons from Cedar & to Calhoun are great viewing spots.

Great lake for running or walking. Watch for rude cyclists who own the road . Great dog park and plenty of spots for them to take a dip . Not as crowded as Lake Calhoun, no beaches .

One of the prettiest lake walks nearby and not as busy as Calhoun. There's plenty of parking around the lake .

This is the sunniest of the city lakes on the walking/running path. Be careful in summer sun. There is not as much shade. The bike path has a little more.

The irregular shoreline makes for a more interesting "around the lake walk " than either Calhoun or Harriet. If you really want a hike , also walk around neighboring Cedar Lake .

I like running here more than Calhoun. It's less crowded and the windy paths make a routine workout feel like an adventure.

The old/real Lake of the Isles was incorrectly renamed to "Auto Value"

Beautiful lake in the Chain of Lakes in Minneapolis. Rent a kayak or paddleboat and go exploring!

The lake was created in its current form in the early 20th century by dredging a small lake & marsh complex. The 2.86 miles of shoreline are publicly owned & averages 5.5 million visitors annually.

The Lake of the Isles skating rink provides an opportunity to imitate either end of the ice-skating spectrum. Voted as Best Place to Ice Skate by City Pages in 2010

part of the Minneapolis uptown lakes , a terrific place to spend a beautiful smmer or fall day and you can skate it during the winter!

Great and beautiful place for kayaking and paddle boarding!

Beautiful bike and walking trails .

Use the outer lane for biking and blading and the inner lane for walking and jogging please! Safety first!

Beautiful spot for picnics , walking, and biking !

Fresh air , clear blue sky's great for a quick hike

Way less crowded than Calhoun for biking and jogging. Less windy on the water too!

Beautiful place for a bike ride or walk!

Look for the sea creature in the lake in summer!

My favorite running route. Less crowded , not just a circle.

If you must drive around the parkway at 15 MPH while gawking, have courtesy and pull over. Better yet, get out of your car and walk.

Best & smoothest blading paths of all the City Lakes

Beautiful walking and biking paths .

One of my fav lakes to go running or biking at.

Great walking trails and gorgeous houses.

Water fountains at the south, west and north (next to the baseball field ) ends of the lake .

Great place to run, jog, walk! Enjoy!

Awesome canoe/kayak spot

Go for a run, bike ride , or walk during sunset ... there is just nothing better

North Face is making a killing off these people! Apparently required for walking around these lakes . Zzzzzzzz.

This is not a new lake . Why is Swarm deleting locations and then readding them?

Must try the running or biking path .

Great place to ride bikes or run!

Really pretty houses

Find the tree of seven trunks. Let it hold you as the sun sets.

Don't forget to look for the dinosaur . Read more

Do anything here, but please clean up when you or your pet is done! :-)

Go to the off leash park and watch the dogs play

sit, relax, and enjoy the views then rent bikes at the nice ride dock between the two lakes and zoom around the lake

How is it possible for someone from New Prague to be the mayor of the isles?

Get a canoe rack for easy access to the best fishing holes.

great for jogging around and biking on the lake parkway

Take in the view . JUMP in the water.

A gorgeous spring night for a walk

Outdoor yoga at 7 on the east side of the lake - $5 suggested donation. It's wonderful!

Perfect lake to take a stroll around with your cute girlfriend.

Take a walk around the lake !
