A 12 Mile Walk for Some Medicine (3/11/24)

Trying to get in another good walk as well as enjoy a beautiful spring-like day (highs in the upper 60s F), Bob and I headed off towards Medicine Lake (the lake). Medicine Lake is also an independent municipality (population of 330) on a peninsula that juts into the lake that we visited. It is surrounded by the suburb of Plymouth, but voted to separate from Plymouth in 1944.

To get to Medicine Lake (the lake), we traversed roads, sidewalks, pedestrian bridges, and trails through the municipalities of St.Louis Park, Golden Valley, and Medicine Lake. As the blog title indicates, it ended up being about 12 miles round trip.
