We had a picnic lunch on the beach at Bde Maka Ska in Minneapolis a few weeks ago. The lake is the largest in Minneapolis and is part of the Chain of Lakes and Grand Rounds Scenic Byway. Green parks, bike trails and walking paths surround the lakes while fishing, wind surfing, swimming, sailing, canoeing, and paddle boarding are all popular activities among summertime visitors. The Chain of Lakes draws millions of visitors each year making it the second most popular visitor destination after the Mall of America.
