Staying in Minneapolis for an extended period of time for business? If you find yourself with a day off or even a few hours, why not treat yourself to some well-deserved relaxation at one of the local fishing spots? Especially during the summer months, there are many beautiful lakes to choose from, as well as the Mighty Mississippi. There are also plenty of bait and tackle shops in the area to outfit you properly for your excursion.
Where to go? How about these suggestions:
Cedar Lake
Located in the chain of lakes region at Cedar Lake Parkway and Basswood Road (yes you can catch bass there) Cedar Lake offers tree-lined shores and a fishing dock on the west side. Anglers also have the opportunity to catch northern pike and muskie!
Lake Harriet
A beautiful lake in the Chain of Lakes , Lake Harriet has 344 acres of water and 2 fishing docks. For an extra treat, plan breakfast or lunch at the Bread & Pickle for some healthy and delicious food grown locally. You can find Lake Harriet at 4135 West Lake Harriet Parkway in Minneapolis.
Minnehaha Falls Park
Prefer to fish the river? Then check out the catch and release walleye fishery area where the Minnehaha Creek flows into the Mississippi. If you’re staying in Minneapolis during the spring, you can also catch crappies and stripers under the wooden footbridge nearby. The park is located at 4801 South Minnehaha Park Drive in Minneapolis.
While you're enjoying the beautiful weather and the stunning scenery, don't forget to work on your story about the "one that got away".
