Editorial Review for Chain of Lakes – by Chris Boone
In Short
Forming a backward letter J, the six lakes connected by Minnehaha Creek sweep through the heart of Minneapolis' residential neighborhoods course a path of blue and green through a density of brick and asphalt. All the lakeshore is public property, giving rise to a variety of public recreation spaces, including beaches and trails. There's plenty of room for leisurely touring. Bicyclists, inline skaters, roller skaters, skateboarders, runners and dog-walkers share the paths.

skip the mall it's a big shopping center, go to the lakes and pack a lunch sit under some of the oldest trees in the city and people watch all in the shadows of downtown, visit the rose garden and take in a evening of music at the band shell, and all of this will cost you nothing! I miss it most of all.
Pros: value
Cons: bathrooms
