Minneapolis's largest regional park spans over 700 acres and offers an extraordinary range of outdoor activities year-round, including mountain biking on the Trailhead trails, cross-country skiing in winter, and swimming at Wirth Beach in summer. The Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden within the park is a hidden gem worth seeking out. Parking can fill up fast on summer weekends, and some trail sections are shared-use so watch for cyclists.
