Welcome to Bde Maka Ska, the largest jewel in our beautiful Chain of Lakes and a true hub of city life. You'll find separate, paved trails for biking and walking that loop around the entire lake, offering stunning views of the water and the Minneapolis skyline. In the summer, the lake is alive with kayaks, paddleboards, and sailboats, while in winter it transforms into a wonderland for ice skating and snowshoeing, making it a perfect year-round destination for a refreshing dose of the outdoors.
