In Short – Schoolteacher Eloise Butler feared that the wild beauty of Minnesota would fall to the ax of city life, and she set about to save it. As a result, in 1907 the Minneapolis Park Board created a preserve for native flora that Butler tended all her life. Originally three acres, the sanctuary has grown to nearly 15 acres. Now it's also home to refuge-seeking eco-junkies, birdwatchers, couples, runners (lots of steep, challenging paths) and families.

Editor's Tips

Metered spots and parking pay stations surround the park and range from 50 cents to $1.25 an hour. There's also free parking at the beach, which is about three minutes away.
When to Go:
Guided tours are given daily at 6pm, or try the varying weekend programs, which include moonlight walks.
