Lake of the Isles Park

Why go

The long north arm, lagoon and Peavey Fountain vary the shoreline, while the two protected islands give the lake its name and a visible wildlife refuge. Early twentieth-century dredging shaped the lake and surrounding parkland from a marsh complex. See the islands from shore rather than treating them as places to land.

What to look for

• Two wooded islands are protected wildlife refuges visible from shore.
• The Peavey Fountain and lagoon break up the lakeside circuit.
• Walking and bicycle paths follow the lake's long, irregular outline.

Useful to know

• Allow time for the full lakeside circuit if the islands and lagoon are the main draw.
• Do not land on the protected islands; check current ice conditions before any winter activity.
