Lakewalk

Living right next door to the greatest of the Great Lakes, it can be easy to take this treasure for granted. But Reader readers have once more tipped their hats … and their hearts … to the Lakewalk. This author frequently walks the section of the 4.2-mile trail extending from the Rose Garden to Canal Park. It’s the most pleasant way I have discovered to keep off the pounds! No matter what the weather – be it a beautiful Spring day with greenery coming to life at the foot of the Angel of Hope, summertime with flowers blooming in the Rose, Peony, and “Wild Ones” gardens, autumn with its powerful gales, or one of those quiet, clear winter days when you can hear the ice “talking” – the Lakewalk never lets you down. It’s accessibility and beauty make it a well-deserved repeat winner in the best walking trail category.
