Brownie Lake

Highlight • Lake

Named after the nickname of the landowner in the late 1800s, this lake is the smallest in the chain of lakes in the area. It features a walking and biking trail, and kayaking and canoeing are allowed, but it is off-limits to motorized watercraft, making it a more peaceful destination for hiking and water activities.

Cedar Lake

Highlight • Lake

Cedar Lake is a lake with a long history. Over two centuries, Cedar Lake has undergone significant transformations in shape, size, and land use; it has evolved from industrial wasteland to modern parks. Despite being part of the city's park system, Cedar Lake is less frequented than its counterparts. Tucked between neighborhoods, it is bordered by the Grand Rounds on its south and west shores. The southeast shore features a thin strip of park land. Former railroad right-of-way along the lake now serves as world-class bike and nature trails, with ongoing repurposing into a light rail transit corridor.
