pa r k bench Lake Harriet Minneapolis, Minnesota Surrounded by parkland, Lake Harriet is a part of the Minneapolis Chain of Lakes in the southwest part of Minneapolis, just south of Lake Calhoun and north of Minnehaha Creek. It offers sailing, two beaches, and a system of bike and pedestrian trails (about three miles for the bike trail and 2.75 miles for the pedestrian trail). The trail and parkway system, part of the Grand Rounds Scenic Byway, connects with Lake Calhoun on the north end via William Berry Parkway and with the Minnehaha Creek trail system on the southeast corner. The north end of the lake also features a bandshell, which is used in the summer months for concerts. A preserved section of the Como-Harriet Streetcar Line runs between Lake Calhoun and the west side of Lake Harriet. 128 Parks & Recreation SEPTEMBER 2010 www . N R P A . O R G
