Doggin’ Minneapolis: Where To Hike With Your Dog When In The Mini Apple
By Doug Gelbert
Loring Park at 1382 Willow Street is named for Charles Loring, the “Father of the Minneapolis Park System.†Loring hired Frederick Law Olmsted to bring a world- class park system to rapidly growing Minneapolis in 1883 and the first 30 acres of this park were purchased. A series of bike and walking paths wind around a lake and gardens; across the Whitney Bridge is the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden.
For a more extended hike with your dog try Fort Snelling State Park, 10 minutes to the southeast of Minneapolis.
