Dakota footpaths between Lake Calhoun/Bde Maka Ska and Lake Harriet were later followed by a county road, a steam railway, park boulevards, and bicycle paths. Tour William Berry Park, containing the last remnants of natural landscape in Linden Hills, developed by and renamed in honor of the first

Minneapolis Superintendent of Parks. Follow Richfield Road and learn of early residents along the edge of Interlachen Terrace and Cottage City.
