Walk the Lake
This is a quick and flat 1.6 mile easy stroll along side the Como Lake. The lake also a relaxing spot for non-motorized watersports.
During every season the city maintains this path for walking even after it snows. As a result, it is a great spot to get some exercise in the winter months. However, if you happen to be in the area during the fall it is a fantastic place for leaf peeping.
