Lake Calhoun


Minnesota is known as the Land of 10,000 Lakes.  When visiting the state, it would be a shame to not spend at least some time at them.  There are numerous ones to choose from, but right outside the hustle and bustle of Minneapolis is Lake Calhoun, which has a very relaxing feel to it.

This lake has a path around the whole lake for walking or cycling.  In addition, with its marina, you can take a boat out onto the lake to just sail around or to go fishing.  For our short stay, we decided to rent a Paddleboat from Wheel Fun Rentals.  They are located right off the main road next to the marina.  They don't have their own parking lot, but finding a spot on the street shouldn't prove too challenging.


With our paddleboat in hand, we were able to enjoy a relaxing hour paddling around the lake taking in the various views and were able to witness various baby ducks on the pond.  It is a great way to spend a beautiful afternoon in the Twin Cities.  In addition to the paddleboats, they also rent out kayaks, canoes and bicycles.
