Lake Harriet Park

Why go

The Band Shell gives this lake a recognizable focal point that the neighboring lakes lack. Walking and cycling paths follow the water, while North and Southeast beaches offer separate summer destinations. Music has been part of the lakefront since the first pavilion in the late nineteenth century, though any performance depends on the current calendar.

What to look for

• The Lake Harriet Band Shell anchors the north shore.
• Walking and bicycle paths provide different ways around the water.
• North and Southeast beaches sit on different parts of the lake.

Useful to know

• Start at the Band Shell for a short stop, or allow time for a fuller shoreline circuit.
• Check the event calendar if a Band Shell performance is part of the plan.
