A Walk, a Bike Ride or a Skate Around Lake Phalen in Phalen Park, St. Paul
By Clara James, About.com Guide
Rounding the northern tip of the lake, the trails run next to East Shore Drive. Early in the last century, the vegetation on the lakeshore was considered unsightly, torn up, and replaced with rip-rap, stone cladding. The bank of the lake is currently being rehabilitated, with natural plants allowed to regrow.
