Close to Water
With lakes and parks galore, the city’s active residents (we’re rated among the fittest cities in the nation) have ample locales in which to a run, bike, parasail, fish, walk and rollerblade. With such a lush environment, the city offers the perfect setting for outdoor events, afternoon meandering and a relaxing, sun-filled meal at a sidewalk cafe.
Parks
With more than 180 in Minneapolis, no resident lives more than six blocks away from a park. Great for outdoor events, the city’s parks can provide understated elegance and spectacular views of the city, the Mississippi and more.
Mississippi River
The Mississippi riverfront presents lush greenery and a mighty, flowing river—with a modern skyline as backdrop. The Riverfront District offers first-class cuisine and entertainment along with historic sites and trails.
Grand Rounds
One of the two fully urban scenic byways in the country, the Grand Rounds encompasses 50 miles of hiking, biking, skiing and driving paths, offering the public a chance to view and discover the city’s natural phenomena.
Lakes
There are 22 lakes in Minneapolis alone (and yes, over 10,000 in Minnesota), guaranteeing you access to water. The city’s Chain of Lakes, only a short trip from downtown, are a haven for the city’s active, fun and fit population.
