Best lake in the Twin Cities. A lot less urban than Calhoun or Isles. great lake for a family bike ride or early morning power walk.

A great view of Minneapolis as you drive around the lake. Absolutely gorgous homes surround the lake. Excellent biking, walking or running trail around the lake. Do the whole loop from Minnehaha Falls to Lake Harriett to Lake Calhoun and on north, well worth the trip.

I often walk around the lake with friend. Great scenery and people walking. There is a trolley for kids in summer(haven't used it in years) and a bandshell that offers concerts on weekends. But usually I just love the approx. 2 mile walk around the lake.

A beautiful walk, in a special part of Minneapolis. Some cute cafes, coffee shops & bistros nearby. Great bike paths that connects the lakes (Nokomis, Lake of the Isles, Calhoun & Harriet). The Harriet band shell offers free concerts, check out their schedule.

Nice place to catch sun while walking around the lake, a park nearby, and has places to sit. Fall walks around this lake are particularly nice.

I go here regularly, even in the winter. This is a family-friendly lake, sport-friendly lake, and the bike path is ALWAYS cleared by the City of Mpls in the winter for walkers/runners/bikers, etc... In the summer, catch a live performance or movie at the bandshell, and there is a restaurant for food and ice-cream as well. Rent a paddle-boat or... More

Swans, Canadian Geese, Mallards...right in the middle of town. A beautiful system of parks and bike paths. Better than a golf course.

It is the best place to spend a boring evening.it is a big loop and it takes about an hour to complete the whole loop.

Take a walk, a run, or a bike ride - you can't ask for better in urban living than a visit to Lake Harriet. Restaurants are nearby and a local shopping experience is nearby. Lake Harriet is one of the attractions that makes Minneapolis better and different from other cities.
