Today’s hiking adventure began at Normandale Lake Park.
We had a beautiful morning to hike. The sun was shining brightly and the birds were singing loudly. Normandale Lake mirrors the sky perfectly. I love seeing the clouds in the water.
The wide paved trail was full of people out enjoying the day. We saw bikers, hikers, and even rollerbladers.
On the east side of the lake there is a beautiful cascading waterfall.
The tulips are stunning!
We found baby ducks. Of course, they swam away as soon as I got near them.
Nine Mile Creek flows into Normandale Lake.
Once back at our starting point, we decided to take a drive to Normandale College. Our hike around Normandale Lake was 2 miles.
Normandale College has a beautiful Japanese Garden. The cherry blossoms are just beginning to pop.
The magnolia’s are beginning to blossom too.
The pond was full of hungry Koi Fish.
With the weather being so amazing, we just had to continue our adventure around the surrounding neighborhood.
Our hiking adventure around the college and neighborhood was 3.3 miles.
