 Fish Lake Regional Park in Maple Grove offers a variety of
outdoor recreational facilities in a wooded lakeside setting.
Most popular with the summer crowd, the park features a swimming
beach and boat access to Fish Lake. The Park District's regional trail from Fish Lake to Elm Creek Park Reserve makes
the park a favorite destination for bicyclists. Fish Lake is
especially scenic in the fall, when stands of blazing maples
reflect upon the water. In the winter, the park is open for
ice fishing, walking and pavilion rental.
