After spending some time at the dam, I continued on down stream until a small stream joined up with the river. It had a nice bike path running along side it, so I picked that up and headed west. It turns out that the stream connects a whole bunch of lakes together.

This is Lake Nokomis. It is just a few blocks south of Hiawatha Lake and much larger.

Last, but not least, is Lake Calhoun. Those few buildings in the distance are downtown Minneapolis. And I live on the *other* side of them. Yikes!
