Now that the summer has arrived in full force in Minneapolis, we have all had to try to keep cool, this includes our dog, Onie too. So instead of just going to the off leash park in our neighborhood, I have started driving south to Minnehaha Park which is at Hiawatha Ave and Minnehaha Parkway in Mpls. It has become an oasis in the city for both Onie and I. It is over 193 acres of park which includes many wooded areas, long walkways and even a 50 foot waterfall; all within the limits of the city! It is a great escape on especially hot days since the off leash dog area is in the woods down by the Mississippi river. It is a nice leisurely walk down through the woods where only one fence is visible and no buildings can be seen. Although I am a bit afraid of pollutants in the water of the river, I feel confident enough in my immune system to still stick my feet in while Onie romps around with all the other dogs. It is a nice long beach with over hanging trees and plenty of stumps to sit on and watch the dogs go crazy. Here are some pics below from one of our wonderful visits.
