Lake Harriet is just south of Lake Calhoun, with a large wooded area connecting the two. There’s a small beach, extensive grassy shoreline, and a second Wheel Fun Rentals outpost on the northwest shore.
The adjacent Lake Harriet Band Shell features concerts and performances most summer evenings and weekend afternoons. On the northeast shore, check out Lyndale Park, a manicured parcel with a well-kept rose garden and other cultivated areas.
