New pedestrian trails now available around Lake Nokomis and Chain of Lakes

In conjunction with ski trail grooming operations, the Loppet Foundation will periodically provide snow rolling to provide an even and packed surface for walking trails around Lake Nokomis and the Chain of Lakes (Brownie Lake, Cedar Lake, Lake of the Isles, Bde Maka Ska, and Lake Harriet). 

 

The trails will provide extra space for walkers and runners to be outside this winter while maintaining appropriate social distancing. Trail rolling will be done by Loppet volunteers and will be carried out as resources and conditions allow.

 

At the Chain of Lakes, the rolled trails are marked by wayfinding / directional signs. At Lake Nokomis, the rolled trails are on top of the paved pedestrian trails.
