 As one of the picturesque lakes in the renowned Chain of Lakes, Lake Harriet features 67 acres of land and 344 acres of water. It is noted for biking and walking trails, a variety of water activities and summer concerts at the stunning band shell.
Trails around the lake are 2.99 miles for bikers and skaters and 2.75 miles for walkers and runners. A totlot is located near the band shell. Visitors can purchase refreshments at the concessions building, pump fresh drinking water at the well, and enjoy nightly concerts from early June to Labor Day.
Lake Harriet offers two supervised beaches: North and Southeast.
Watercraft rental is available through Wheel Fun Rentals.
Lake Harriet and the band shell also provide a stunning backdrop for weddings.
Historical Profile: More information about this and other parks is included in Parks, Lakes, Trails and So Much More, a richly detailed account of the histories of Minneapolis’ renown recreational system.
