From MN originally, been to many of the lakes too. Never done an open water event there though. What I can say is that Lake Harriet is beautiful. When we were kids we would go there to swim and canoe, I highly recommend it. Another good lake is Busch Lake over by Edina but I don't think they have any open water events. Lake Minnetonka is an unknown for the most part. Went boating there many years ago, suspect there is a lot of traffic there nowadays. In general, the urban lakes in the Twin Cities are very nice and clean. Anybody who swims there will likely have a good time. Now if they could just get LCM Masters Nationals at the U of M again...

:groovy:Anyone familiar with the Lake Harriet 5 mile swim, Minnetonka, MN? I'm somewhat familiar with this area, lived there in the past. Just wondering if anyone has done this swim? I'm new to open water swimming. My first was Big Shoulders here in Chicago. Man is this an addictive sport!! Keep on swimmin' danny gaspari I believe you are confusered. There's a 1- or 2-mile in Lake Harriet and a 5-mile in Lake Minnetonka. The former is a fine race, but I haven't done the latter. I do know that you need to line up a canoe escort for the 5-mile.
