Normandale Lake Park is a really nice place with beautiful and pretty views, lots of nature, and a great walking path or trail around the lake. The multi-use path is awesome for walking, jogging, or walking dogs, as it is very dog-friendly. There is a cool small waterfall and a legitimate 45-minute trail with benches to stop and enjoy. The park offers beautiful cityscapes in the background, though it never completely feels out of the city. Amenities include restrooms at the bandshell, a big restroom area, and port a potties, along with many picnic tables scattered around. Visitors note the lake water can be a bit stagnant and there are very big mosquitos. It is a nice place to relax, unwind, and enjoy the park.
This is a beautiful park with plenty of scenic views, benches, and even a stadium to watch performances, all while overlooking a beautiful lake with trees and ponds. Significantly They even have a waterfall so if you're ever in the area, go ahead and take a quick 2-mile walk around the lake and relax definitely a site to... read full comment

This is a pretty big lake but it has wonderful views with a mini waterfall, huge fields. Just a gorgeous walk.

Great circuit. Saw some deer at close quarters. Water is very green at this time of year. Excellent walking and separate cycling paths.
