Things To Do
Hyland Lake Park Reserve - Recreation Area
For walking, biking, nature observing, and general out door fun. This is one of our favorite places and is within 2 miles of our house! These are well maintained paved trails.
Minnesota Valley NWR - Bloomington Ferry Unit
This is how to access a hiking trail that follows the Minnesota river. If you're looking for a riverside hike, a unique fishing spot, or a nice off road biking track, this is a versatile trail head. If you go here, you should invite Thomas and Kelsey.
Staring Lake Park DGC
For those who want to Disc in Eden Prairie, this is a 9 hole course and is pretty fun! Staring lake park is also cute and very walkable! This is 10 mins from the wedding - so you're bound to be near it if you stay in Eden Prairie. Our other favorite courses nearby: Bassett Creek DGC in Crystal, and Highland DGC in St Paul.
Stone Arch Bridge
This is in Minneapolis - so it will be about 20 mins from Eden Prairie. This is where we had our first date, spent countless hours biking, and where we got engaged. Needless to say. We love this bridge.
Uptown
Uptown is not a single location, but a collection of restaurants, bars, and groovy hangouts along a lake. If you're looking for some city-fun, we often go here. (Downtown Minneapolis is also a great time!)
Any of the 10,000 lakes
Soak October in by visiting any of the 10,000 lakes. There are excellent walking and biking trails of various difficulties and lengths anywhere you stay in Minnesota. Our favorites are a little far away - but if you're around to stay a while, go see Mille lacs lake, or head up to Duluth and behold Lady Superior.
