I haven't been to Lake Harriet in years #woodburyproblems. I finally made it back over to that beautiful area for a long run. I had no clue how very close it was to Lake Calhoun! There are a bunch of walking paths in that area connecting parks and the two lakes. I love that it's so interconnected. That is perfect for a long run or combining a run with a bike ride.
Lake Harriet is just shy of three miles around. Not only is it a great workout destination, it's a great place to spend a summer day. You can walk/run/bike/roller blade around the lake, watch the sail boats, rent water craft, have a picnic, lay out on the beach, swim, people watch, or eat a fantastic meal at Bread & Pickle.
Bread & Pickle had fantastic looking sea food plates, appetizers, and small plates as well as a nice tap list and a few creative wine/champagne cocktails.
For watercraft, they have kayaks, canoes, pedal boats, and paddleboards available. I've always wanted to go paddle boarding! I was just there for a run with a bit of a time crunch (due to the 30 minute drive from my house) so I will for sure have to head back to try paddleboarding, lay out, and have breakfast or lunch at Bread & Pickle. What a little gem of a spot. Minnesotans really know how to market their lakes :)
