Lake Calhoun

Discover Life in Lake Calhoun

Considered a part of the Chain of Lakes, Lake Calhoun is the largest lake in the state and a fabulous place to live, work and play in the greater Minneapolis area. The lake has a rich history within the state, and as of last year, the State of Minnesota and the DNR voted to officially refer to the lake by its original Dakota name: Bde Maka Ska — meaning "Lake White Earth."

One things that has remained the same about the lake all these years later? The sparkling blue waters. The community is particularly popular when it comes to outdoor amenities, particularly fishing, swimming, and sailing. With a unique view of the skyscrapers downtown, Bde Maka Ska and the Lake Calhoun area are some of the most popular areas in the city.
