Lake Hiawatha
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This article is about the lake in Minneapolis, Minnesota. For the town in New Jersey, see Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey.
Lake Hiawatha is located just north of Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It was purchased by the Minneapolis park system in 1922 for $550,000. At the time the lake was just a swamp, but over four years, the park system transformed the bog into a Lake surrounded by a park. The lake and park have a fishing dock, bike path, a wading pool, tennis courts, softball diamonds, a rec center and it borders a municipal golf course.
Lake Hiawatha is one of the few lakes through which the Minnehaha Creek flows.
