High on our list of places to go for an urban walk is Pike Island at Ft. Snelling State Park. It's an island between the Minnesota and Mississippi rivers. The confluence of the muddy MN and clear MS waters is known to the original locals as Bdote.
The MN River side of the island has steep banks and the water is inaccessible. The tip of the island (halfway point of the 4-mile walk) flattens out and the MS River side of the island has a nice beach. By the time we got to the tip, S was severely overheated and was glad to be able to finally take a swim. GP refused to go swimming.
