Lake Nokomis
Lake Nokomis is one of three sailing lakes (along with Harriet and Calhoun) in the Minneapolis park system that offers many enjoyable recreational opportunities.
The park includes two supervised beaches, a community center, sailboat and racks, concessions, pathways and ball diamonds.

Location
Lake Nokomis is one of the several lakes in Minneapolis, Minnesota located in the southern part of the city, west of the Mississippi River and south of Lake Hiawatha.
Its easy location makes the lake an ideal getaway for residents who are seeking the amenities of a beach in a convenient area.

History
The lake was originally named Lake Amelia in honor of Captain George Gooding’s daughter, Amelia, in 1819.
Its current name was adopted in 1910 to honor Nokomis, grandmother of Hiawatha (legendary Indian hero of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem, The Song of Hiawatha).

Recreation
City residents can access sail buoys and launch their canoes and boats from the west-side public boat launch. Sailboat races are a weekend event throughout the warmer months.
During the summer months, bicycle, canoe and paddle boat rentals are available through Wheel Fun Rentals at the main beach.

Recreation
Fishing is popular in Lake Nokomis, there are two beaches with good (imported) sand, and the surrounding large park has facilities for walking and running, softball, cycling, and other sports.
