A few miles southeast of Lake Harriet, along Minnehaha Parkway and beautiful Minnehaha Creek, lies Lake Nokomis. Lake Nokomis is entirely surrounded by Lake Nokomis Park, which features a moderately sized beach and a third Wheel Fun Rental hub. Spend some time walking or biking around the lake, hit the beach (weather permitting), and then head across Minnehaha to Grand Ole Creamery, which features 200 ice cream flavors in double-sized cones starting at $4.
