Walked to 10 Lakes
Hey hi! I’m visiting from San Francisco and love exploring urban areas on foot. I was yearning for the Midwest, so I booked a weekend trip to Minneapolis. Yesterday, I spent my Saturday walking around your gorgeous city with the goal of visiting 10 lakes + Minnehaha Falls, a Tour de Lake, if you will.
I started around 5:15 AM from my hotel and ended the journey with dinner at Vinai. The walk was lovely. I’m in awe of the breathtaking green space, extensive bicycle/pedestrian network, and fantastic food. I made it to Powderhorn, Hiawatha, Nokomis, Diamond, Harriet, Bde Maka Ska, Lake of the Isles, Cedar, Brownie, and Wirth Lakes. The route was created entirely based on vibes, with the hope of doing a lap around each lake. Hard to pick a favorite, but...Lake Nokomis (please do not come after me).
Next up: walking to Modern Times for breakfast before heading to Art-A-Whirl! This city has me kicking my feet with pure joy. I’m here until tomorrow afternoon, so any coffee or food recs are welcome :)
Happy to send the Strava route to anyone interested!
