点评:Although located near the populated East Metro of the Twin Cities, Lake Elmo Park Reserve is a nice place to experience nature and to feel like you are away from the city. There is a paved biking and walking trail and many hiking opportunities offering views of densely wooded areas, open prairie and of several lakes plus it is a good bird watching area. Lake Elmo is also found here with a boat landing and a scenic fishing dock. There is a beach, a recently remodeled children's playground, camping sites available, and picnic facilities. The park reserve can also be enjoyed during the winter with cross country ski trails. The only negative is the noise from the gun range that is not far away. This is not a place to travel to from far as it is not on the same level as some of the great state parks we have but is certainly a terrific resource for residents of the Twin Cities to reconnect with nature without having to drive far from home.
