Bde Maka Ska, Lake of the Isles & Lake Harriet
So, you are probably rolling your eyes and wondering about my lack of imagination in choosing this as my first ride. You won’t work off a ton of calories, or a huge sweat doing this ride…but you will have fun.
Just take it slow. You have no choice really because there are too many people, bikes, strollers, rollerbladers and random people just aimlessly wandering the bike path. Lol, what’s the appeal? You ask. Well, it’s fun. You get to be outside, people watch and have access to ice cream and junk food along the way.
Bde Maka Ska, is a 3.2 mile loop. Lake of the Isles, 2.86 miles. Lake Harriet, 2.99 miles. You can do just one of the lakes, and chill out people watching, or put your head down and do them all!
You might want to coordinate your ride around Lake Harriet with a concert at the bandshell. https://www.minneapolisparks.org/venue/lake-harriet-bandshell/
