Today’s hiking adventure began at Big Willow Park. We previously hiked this park during the winter of 2024.
We hiked past the athletic complexes towards Minnehaha Creek.
The trail winds around the creek offering a beautiful and ever changing landscape.
The wildflowers are always a colorful find along the trail.
We left Big Willow Park and hiked down Minnetonka Blvd towards the Lake Minnetonka Regional Trail alongside the Minnehaha Creek. We passed by the Charles H. Burwell House and decided to hike around the gorgeous property.
The Lake Minnetonka Regional Trail was busy with runners, hikers, and bikers. It was an amazing day to be outside.
We followed along the trail through the city of Deephaven making our way to the city of Excelsior. Our goal was to make it to Lake Minnetonka. And that, we did!
Our hike ended at Maynard’s Restaurant on Lake Minnetonka.
Today’s hiking adventure was 11.3 miles.
