Really nice park in the middle of the city, but because of that parking is often a nightmare (even in the pay lots) and its almost not even fun because you're just battling crowds, trying not to get run over by bikers and runners and if you want to take photos there's always random people in them. I recommend going on a weekday if possible, especially in the morning.

We love Lake Nokomis, the trails are relaxing, there are lots of parking options and there are nice shaded areas. You can bike, run or just walk around the lake in this area. There are trails for bike and trails for running or hiking. You can rent kayaks, paddleboards and other water related equipment. Their beach is small, but nice and there were lots of people there. We try to hit lake nomokis wheb we are in the area.
About Lake Nokomis
Tucked away in the heart of Minneapolis, Lake Nokomis is a delightful mix of urban convenience and natural beauty. Perfectly situated for easy access and poised with a range of activities, it's a favored destination for both locals and visitors alike. The lake’s charm lies in its array of recreational options including paddleboarding, kayaking, and canoeing, facilitated by the convenient rentals available from Wheel Fun Rentals. Whether you prefer active exploration on the water or a leisurely stroll along the well-maintained trails, Lake Nokomis accommodates all with its scenic landscapes and serene waters. The presence of two swimming beaches makes it ideal for families looking to splash around, while the birdwatching spots and the naturescape garden appeal to those interested in nature and tranquility.

All in all, Lake Nokomis is truly a gem, offering a magical escape from the city buzz in every season.
