It is possible to canoe from Harriet north clear into Cedar Lake. There are also connecting bikeways or walking paths to do the same for those who are in better shape than I! ;-) I remember more tree coverage when I was younger and wonder if the scourge of Dutch elm disease may have cut the tree population when it hit the metro area. The walking/biking paths along the Mississippi in the downtown area have vastly improved recently. The walk there is refreshing but not "apart" from the city.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
