Out of all of the city lakes, this is the quietest and perhaps most beautiful. It is worth the 1-hour walk or so just to view the amazing homes (mansions). There is a dog-park, and this lake is right outside of Uptown. It is connected to Calhoun. If you are savvy on a canoe, find your way to Cedar and...

Loved it. Large enough so you never need to bump into anyone and yet it also has a rink set up on it for ice hockey, etc. I love the walk around the lake the most... and the sledding hill in the park on the west end of the lake.

Great place for a stroll and house gazing. Lots of people walking, jogging and roller blading in the summer. Luminaries on the water in the Winter. Great place to bring out of townees to get a feel for the city. Lots of great restaurants and shopping in the area as well.

The Lake of the Isles trails are absolutely beautiful! We rented a Nice Rice Bike by Lake Calhoun and wound our way around the Lake of the Isles. The homes are spectacular and the trail is well maintained.
And great people watching. Highly recommended in all seasons. Good energy. What else do I need to say to get to 100 characters?
My wife and I rented kayaks when visiting this summer. The lake is just beautiful and very relaxing. Great way to spend a 1/2 a day.
