Bde Maka Ska, previously known as Lake Calhoun, is a beautiful and well-maintained lake in the heart of the city. Visitors can enjoy walking, sunbathing, and even skating when the conditions are right. The new building houses clean and private restrooms for everyone to use. While the lake can have a slight odor in the summer due to "fish death," the overall experience is described as "magical" and "fantastic," with a great 5k walking path and separate bike lane. Bde Maka Ska is a popular destination for locals and visitors alike, offering a peaceful and picturesque respite in the city.
