Noerenberg Memorial Gardens

Reviewed By JustAGirl55331 - Excelsior, United States

I'm biased as I got engaged here, but I do love this little park. The gazebo is the best part, looking over Lake Minnetonka and typically with an open chair to park yourself and listen to the birds and boats. This is not a party park and their are no refreshments or bathrooms - just a beautiful park with gardens, views and free parking. They close at dusk....so plan appropriately - it's a county park. Thank you, Noerenberg Family for allowing this to be part of everyone's experience, and not sold off to some condo developer!

Dakota Rail Regional Trail

Reviewed By TravelingSoccerLoon - Saint Paul, United States

Terrific bike trail in the Twin Cities. I pedaled from Minnetonka Beach out to Mayer and back which was a 34 mile round trip ride. The trail is mostly flat with only occasional mild elevation change. Aside from the views riding across the bridge at Crystal Bay, I found the stretch from here to Mound to be less interesting as it travels behind business along Shoreline Drive with minimal views of the lake. However, the stretch west from Mound to Mayer was wonderful and gets you away from the city and out into some nice countryside. The stretch along Lake Waconia was my favorite part of the ride. Enjoyed finding some ice cream at Lost Lake Creamery in Mound near the trail parking at the end of my ride.
