Minneapolis is pretty small compared to "big" cities in other states but I do agree that this is an unlikely walk but a totally achievable bike ride.

Also the lake's native Dakota name has been restored and locals call it Bde Maka Ska

That gave me a good laugh. I used to live right near the Walker Art Center. Lake Calhoun was about two miles away, so yes, that was more like thirty minutes. Seemed shorter, though.

lol!
