Minnesota Lake Crowned 'Best Lake' In The Entire State

The sunshine season has finally arrived and with it, the opportunity to spend endless hours each weekend relaxing at the lake (should your schedule permit it). There are few better places to kick up your feet, spend time with family and friends, and partake in water sports, than a lake! These magnificent bodies of water, both natural and manmade, exist as the absolute perfect weekend getaway for adventurers of all ages.

As if it couldn't get any better, there is one lake in each state that bears the reputation of being the best around for a variety of factors including surrounding wildlife, water quality, camping, and so much more!

According to a list compiled by Cheapism , the best lake in all of Minnesota is Lake Calhoun .

Here's what Cheapism detailed about the best lake in the entire state:

"In the Land of 10,000 Lakes, this urban retreat stands out. Canoe, kayak, or paddle board the largest link in Minnesota's Chain of Lakes and catch crappie, pan fish, and muskie from the fishing pier on Lake Calhoun Parkway. Or try the Midwest-rooted tradition of log rolling and enjoy a view of Minneapolis from Thomas Beach. Be aware that within the state, the name was changed in 2018 to Bde Maka Ska, its original Dakota name meaning "White Earth Lake."
