A Veritable Venice

Lake of the Isles is a veritable Venice though the pleasure craft are all canoes, not of the gondola type. Go out any night when the water is calm, the moon bright and the weather right and you will find the , beautiful waters dotted with ,slim, swift craft.


LAKES, LAKES EVERYWHERE in Minneapolis. Here, in the heart of the residential district are seen three of the eleven lakes that loop Minneapolis from the Mississippi to the Minnesota River like a chain of beads. Lake of the Isles is in the foreground; Lake Calhoun in the center and Lake Harriet in the background. A green forested city, Minneapolis is the largest in both area and population in Minnesota and ranks fifteenth among American cities.
