Beautiful, lake front beach an oasis in the hustle and bustle of the city.

Is a beautiful beach with really great people. I love walking down there on time

Wow, what a hidden gem! Lots of tree coverage at this beach so you can be in the shade of youd prefer, but still enough sun! The lake was great and super cool how it connects to Lake of the Isles! Great place to paddle board, kayak or canoe!

Very hidden gem of a beach. Lots of nice friendly people who seem as happy to be there as you are. Relaxing and pretty. Highly recommend.

If you ignore the fact that the Park Police are there, then it’s a great time! the people are great, it’s a very chill and calm atmosphere, and you can there’s a walking trail that can take you there via cedar lake trail :)

Small area with absolutely nothing for the kids you’ll have to bring a bag of toys for the little ones to play with. It’s close to some good mountain bike trails

It was so refreshing with the hot weather weve been having. Omg did it feel good to just take a quick dip! The water was perfect temp to accommodate for the type of heat and humidity weve been experiencing:))

Very secluded beach with calm waters. Plenty of seating, loads of fun things to do, conveniently located near my favorite trail system. Today will be my 3rd visit in 3 days.

Smaller than its neighbor but with all the same appeal and more parking.

Quiet little beach area. Bith walking and bike paths. Beautiful lake and natural surroundings. Low key neighborhood atmosphere. Quieter than ither urban lakes.

Relaxed vibe. Casual setting. Good swimming.

Very nice to ride a bike around the lake or canoeing. Maybe its just for me, but temperature of the water was surprisingly warm in September.

Its a beautiful beach. Lots of walking trails.

Overly crowded and not very clean. The amount of homeless and drunk people were a little shocking. Beautiful view of the lake though!

I like that not a lot of people were here . it a nice spot and its a special place that me and my partner love to go to.

Really enjoy this beach lake! Theres beachy areas and rocky areas, walking trails and biking trails, and off the path trails. Busy but theres lot of little spots to chill.. perfect for a nice day.

Small and humble but much less busy than other beaches. Stopped here with a kayak, ducks came up to us fearlessly.

Great for daily walks, paddling and spotting fancy houses.

Loved the place. My friend Praveen took me there during my recent visit to MN. It was nice and serene and it was so beautiful to just sit there.. Absorbing the amazing weather!

Beautiful bike trails. Awesome place to ride!

In nature...so close to the city...perfect get away for the day!

Nice somewhat isolated urban beach which was a nude beach years ago. Alas only city neighborhood parking.

I just love this point beach....its perfect early in the morning when all the wildlife is out and the swimmers are practicing going between hidden beach and east beach. Its the first beach to get the summer in the morning too. The picture I posted is actually takes from the parkway and looking from the East side. I think it has the best swimming as the water is never really stagnant here. Perfect beach too for pulling up your kayak or canoe.

Great beach. Just a little frustrated by the constant police presence.

Beautiful hangout spot.

Rather lively when the weathers right. Great for kids (part time lifeguard, toys available). Tree shaded for us transparent folk.

4th of July fun in the sun

Small beach, but very clean, no weeds, and easy to kayak/canoe to. Nice shallow parts but also drops off fast.

Tgis was a really cool beach. For some reason it reminded me of either asia or europe. I will definitely come back to do some relaxing.

Beautiful scenic lake with a shore lined with dead fish..

Super chill beach with nice lake swimming. A bit more edgy than some of the other city lake beaches but not in a bad or uncomfortable way at all. Obvious highlight here is the mud pit, which is one of those local bucket list items for good reason. Get in and get muddy and have fun.

Nice little beach. No picnic tables.

Great clean beach

I cant say a whole lot about this place as Ive only kayaked by from the waters viewpoint. Seems to be a nice place to chill on a sunny day though.

Great MN beach vibes!

Good spot to start kayaking through lake of the isles and into Calhoun

Beautiful lake to view. Best place for a picnic.

Nice trails and tucked away little beach!

Right next to the honey hole

Usually a good place for kids and adults.

Too many dogs where people dont follow the law.

Love this place too lol

Love this beach. But currently infected with blue algae

Such a beautiful lake nestled in quite green

Beautiful little spot! Pretty busy for a Monday afternoon, but a lovely spot none the less. Lifeguard on duty until 7pm most days I believe, and swimming area is roped off, great if you have kids with you.

Nice, secluded but you have to know how to get there. No one bothers you. Park Police stop by once in awhile so that helps but leave your weed at home ha ha ha

Beautiful place to watch the sunset

Very relaxing.

We saw 3 eagles here. Nice peaceful area.

Nice shaded little beach, seems to be pretty popular and so it can get crowded. Life guard on duty. Not sure if alcohol is allowed but there were definitely people drinking and no one was stopping them.

Came out for a full moon kayaking trip with a Twin Cities paddle group Im part of on Facebook. Weather didnt cooperate but still had a great time paddling the chain of lakes. The area is a bit confusing to get out of since its a random assortment of neighborhood loops but the effort is well worth the chance to see one of the twin cities treasures.

Beautiful sunset view

Fun! Beach manager is cool as sh

Been going to this lake over 30 yrs!! Absolutely love the serenity and peace I feel here. Plus its a great fishing lake, family bbq or picnic area as well.

There are signs posted that dogs arent allowed, but we brought ours and no one had a problem with it although it was during the week. The beach area was great. We went two days in a row we liked it so much.

Only for the real.... No Karens or Todds

Very nice area to go for a walk in the middle of Minneapolis.

Nice point to look over the lake!

Love this beach!A lot of fun and good people go there. And I havent seen any kind of drama gone like I do it some other beaches.

Nice, and usually not crowded.

I love the vibe of what was once hidden beach. I do however miss it being more hidden. It just made walking out of the woods onto a beach a special feel.

LOVE this beach! Its just beautiful here, easy to forget you are in the city which is almost impossible at Nokomis, Harriet, or Calhoun. The crowed is mostly young so it can get noisy when busy. Come early while the hipsters are still sleeping if you want a more peaceful experience. Also make sure to have footwear on, I notice broken glass often.

Kayaking is a fun sport you have here! You can rent them at wheel fun rentals at lake Calhoun! Huge area to explore and a great way to spend your morning!

Beautiful area with picnic tables

Not as crowded as some of the other lakes in Minneapolis

I wish they would get rid of the cops

While the beach was a little small, I expect thats what youll get in lakes in Minnesota. The water appeared to be on the dirty side, but from what I hear its the best lake water for your pup to sip on. The sand felt a little more like dirt than sand, but I didnt feel dirty sitting on my towel. Coming from the ocean, Im sure Im biased - and I did enjoy myself - but its no ocean beach!

Wonderful day, fun, chill people from 1 to 81 all enjoying the beautiful day by the lake! Tends to be a bit of a younger, alternative beach with lots of children and parents. I go there several times a week in peek summer and have never seen any trouble. The neighborhood association helps fund a pair of officers there during most of the time the beach is open + 9 am - 10pm I believe. Porta potties and an old hand pump well are the fanciest amenities. But Cedar Lake is clean and spring-fed, and the sunsets are outstanding and intimate!

Quite and calm place to have a good walk or jog. Good place to have some family time.

Just there for work, not pleasure.

Fun place to hammock, catch pan fish, see city wildlife and chill.

Beautiful beachfront. Clean bathroom. Great trail to walk or ride.

Used to be real good but the city cut a bunch of trees and law enforcement always rolls through. Also gets extremely crowded. Still good on quiet days tho

The renovation is awesome. It really needs a new picnic table. Many great memories have been made here.

A decent place to ice fish!

Absolutely love this place normally pretty quite until Daddies Home shows up then it can get a little uncomfortable for a while. Just hide your stuff until their gone and well all be good I take all my family and friends out here they have some pretty awesome regulars plus theres a mud pit also a grill nice beach all kinds of sports come on out and check it out you wont be disappointed

Great for photoshoots.

Beautiful! Nice little beach n swim area. Fun on a hot day!

I love it

Easy going beach. Still connected to Calhoun and leake of the isle so definitely wash up afterwords.

Super cute and quiet beach, great for family or small friend get togethers. Never busy and kind of hidden away for perfect if you want a more private experience.

Pretty beach. Green lake in August. Eclectic and bold people.

A beach I can bike to from the city? A mud pit? What more can I ask for?

Went fishing at the dock available here. It was nice. Parking is $1.00 per hr. Had an outdoor bathroom. Convenient.

Limited parking, lots of trail area around the lake. Beautiful houses in the area, very trendy shops and restaurants nearby. Lots of gorgeous views around the lake.

Kind of a long hike but once we got to the water it was easy to find a spot and kick back.

Amazing view and a nice bike trail. Always enjoy the outdoors at such places.

This is a great place to take a break while on a bike ride.

Public restroom. Drinking water and foot bath. Nice sandy beach. Lake water is stirred up this time of year from a lot of aglae, still the water is fresh and safe.

Its a little out in the open for my liking, few options for shade. Lots of families though and right next to a bathroom with a water fountain so major plus!

Waters are rough on a windy day. The terrain biking or running around the lake has a few small hills, largest climb about 70ft. This is a good paddle board and swimming lake and when possible I would like to go out on this lake when it is calmer. I have previously visited on a calm morning and the water surface was very still.

Beautiful place

Very intolerant people!

Water, nature and fun. Friendly, but definitely present police interaction, to the point of an unsettling freedom of enjoying a beach scene.

Beautiful lake! In my opinion it’s the cleanest and most clear of the chain of lakes. Always love coking here to walk on the ice, go swimming, kayaking or paddle boarding or just take a walk around the lake in the warmer months. There’s a nice floating raft at this beach during the summer months and this is usually one of the more crowded beaches on this lake in summer time.

This used to be a fun hang out place, but then people started bringing their kids this year. That sucks :/

Beautiful

Good beach

Very nice

Great time, cool mud pit. Say hi to the mud pit guy for me.
