Overview
Cedar Lake remains remarkably serene and preserved within Minneapolis's Chain of Lakes offering a tranquil respite from busier lakes nearby like Bde Maka Ska.
Cedar Lake boasts heavily wooded shorelines and secluded beaches amidst Kenwood and Bryn Mawr neighborhoods with strong local conservation ties.
Cedar Lake was originally a marshy wetland complex that got thoroughly revamped by dredging efforts and subsequent 20th-century park development.
Cedar Lake retained much of its natural charm despite being somewhat altered for connection with city water systems and nearby parkways.
Lake and surrounding parklands became focal point of Horace Cleveland's Grand Rounds vision integrating green spaces liberally throughout Minneapolis utterly.
Efforts by citizens and naturalists alongside Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board have preserved a wild feel around lake despite heavy urbanization occurring nearby.
It remains one of least developed lakes in chain and favorite among locals preferring remarkably quieter more serene surroundings naturally.
Surface area spans roughly 169 acres of water naturally laid out.
Shoreline stretches roughly 2.7 miles through heavily forested terrain winding sloppily around numerous bends.
Shallower than Bde Maka Ska with eerily calm waters perfectly suited for extremely quiet boating.

Cedar Lake's shoreline remains pretty gnarly and heavily forested unlike some super manicured lakes giving it a seriously wild vibe within city limits.

Stuff to do and see includes super exciting events and major attractions occurring daily with lots of fun and entertainment everywhere.
Cedar Lake boasts three tiny beaches with distinct character.
Cedar Lake East Beach is tucked away beneath trees and sports a gnarly local atmosphere.
It retains somewhat of a counterculture vibe and remains pretty laidback often less crowded than many nearby heavily trafficked destinations.

Cedar Lake embodies quintessential urban wilderness deeply nestled within city limits surprisingly still harboring vast ecological treasures.
Preservation efforts have been bolstered by scant shoreline development with much of lakefront remaining devoid of paved roads and nearby buildings.
Park board diligently maintains native buffers around waterways for erosion control and wildlife habitat restoration purposes effectively.
Stormwater control projects help improve lake water quality significantly and reduce pollution from runoff pretty effectively nowadays.
Ongoing efforts retain its natural integrity in delicate balance with surging popularity and heavy trail usage mostly nowadays everywhere.
