Came out for a long walk and found great trails, clean paths and friendly visitors! Wish the entrance to the lake trail was more clearly marked when entering from the west. Be sure to look out for a paved picnic platform and look out into the clearing towards the lake to find it!
First time here with a friend. We rented a canoe for three of us to use (two adults, one child). Price was reasonable at $12/hr. Employees were great and helped us launch the canoe. Lake was beautiful and very clear. It was neat to see turtles, egrets, fish, and ducks. We did a short walk down one of the trails and it was nice! Didn’t explore everything but the parts we did were great!
So beautiful there! I can’t wait to go back next time I’m in MN! It was very serene and every staff member was so so kind.
Meetup group hike, loved the non-paved trails. Hiked just under 5 miles.
We rented kayaks in basically had the leak to ourselves. It was so beautiful
Super excellent park. Clean and tons of fun for 0-10. Semi enclosed so it keeps your kids close and has lots to offer! Indoor bathrooms and concession stand, dog friendly.
So many trails. The Hyland Lake Park is a beautiful setting with lots of trails for biking and hiking. They also have water rentals like canoes and paddle boats and also a huge children’s play area with slides. It used to be called Chutes and Ladders because of the high climbing play area with the multiple slides. This is the most beautiful part of Bloomington.
The playground was amazing with a huge variety of things to do on it. A kids giant game of hide and seek / tag would be epic. Unfortunately when I was here it felt like 43C with the humidity. My kids would love to come back.
