Suggestions for Lake near Saint Paul

Richard • July 30, 2017A great urban lake with a 1.6 mile walking path - keep your eyes open for wildlife while walking around the lake. After your walk stop by the pavilion for a burger, hot dog, ice cream or beer!

Arielle L. • October 9, 2018Lake Phalen is truly a gathering place. It's beautiful to walk but it also has lots of activities like an amphitheater, beach volleyball, playgrounds, sports fields and ice rinks.

studioL • June 15, 2011"Located in the Historic Como Lakeside Pavilion, Black Bear Crossings offers everything from a gourmet café open year round, to free summer concerts and paddle boat rentals on the lake."

Tammi • March 16, 2010Beautiful flora in which to explore. Usually quiet for a park in the city. There are sandy & rocky beaches, driftwood and along the Mississippi River. Fishing & boating near the lock & dam.

Michael Q. • April 4, 2013Phalen is one stop place for activities. You really can't stop finding things to do.

Lynden A. • July 10, 2012Great lake to walk your dog around because there's always little to no people walking around so your dog won't get distracted

Matt D. • May 29, 2011Great people watching as you walk around the lake.

Arielle L. • July 6, 2018Beautiful grounds with a conservatory, zoo, lake, golf course and amusement park for kids!

Rich • June 27, 2012I love this lake! I run or walk around it every other day! I agree there is something lurking in the lake. I wish I could catch it on camera. I have seen it myself.

Sean G. • July 12, 2014Long lake is the best!! See you there soon!

Melanie • May 15, 2015The water doesn't always look that great but the picnicking area & walking bridges are awesome!

Duccio • October 2, 2016Cute little park!

Sweasil M. • February 5, 2013Ice fishing is great. People are nice and it is quiet for a city lake. Summers are even better.

Ted • July 18, 2011A lap around the lake us approximately 1.75 miles.

SUSAN • December 16, 2011Lets ALL conserve our Natural resources, not just those who live on this lake.

Charles J. • May 15, 2016Lake Monster almost always has a foodtruck on site. Check the website for details. The glasses fit well in your hand and do hold a pint. All beers are $5.

Heavy Table • November 6, 2014Try the Wheatstone Bridge American Style Wheat (6.3% ABV) -- it’s so palatable and pleasant, flavorful without being overwhelmingly fruity, you could drink 12 on a summer boating trip on the lake.

John H. • July 16, 2016Great spot to have a drink and/or dinner with a great view of the lake. Patio is awesome.
