This scenic river, running through Afton State Park, is ideal for viewing wildlife.
The St. Croix River is a National Wild and Scenic Riverway that is administered by the National Park Service and Federal law. It is a total of 169 miles long; the lower 125 miles forms the border between Minnesota and Wisconsin. The river is used for swimming, fishing, boating, kayaking, etc. It is also just beautiful to look at. There are various marinas in bot Minnesota and Wisconsin, as well as boat launches. In the Spring and Fall, it floods frequently with heavy rains. Last year in October it came up over its banks again and flooded our Association beach and submerged back yards. All the same, it is still nice to live near it.

Entry point to many lakes in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.
Love the multiple islands and inlets that make up this lake. Lots of character to this lake. Gorgeous for kayaking!

Three separate lakes (Lake of the Isles, Lake Calhoun and Lake Harriet) all surrounded by pedestrian paths.
Walk, jog, swim, hear a concert, rent bikes, roller skates, canoes...the chain of lakes is one of the many attractions of the excellent Park system - connected by trail and water to other parks - that attacts year 'round visitors. A cherished resource that is actually three interconnected lakes in the City. Accessable by public transit.

Lake of the Isles is one of the chain of lakes in the heart of Minneapolis. It's winding shoreline has a well-card for walking path and showcases the lake's isles and varied shore environments. It's a 2.6 mile walk, and if you get tired of looking at the sun on the water, skyline in the short distance, lily pads, birds, and the many dogs with companions you'll meet, check out the gorgeous array of houses (some mansions) that surround the lake.

This is a large park just outside downtown Excelsior. Great views of the lake. There is a beach, ball park, and plenty of places to sit for a picnic.

When you visit the center they have several displays to see as well as a brief historical film. There is a nice picnic area, canoe launch, boat launch, walking trails and boat cruises. I walk regularly on the paved/natural trails often. Absolutely beautiful.

The park's namesake 674-acre lake is a prime spot for eyeing wildlife.
Wonderful place to do some hiking or being on the lake. Beautiful. Saw many wild animals, deer, forest chickens(as my hubby called them), and foxes
