Kenwood, Minneapolis Unofficial swimming beach

Hidden Beach on Cedar Lake

The unofficial swimming beach on the north shore of Cedar Lake, accessible only by foot through a wooded path. No lifeguards, no concessions, just a clothing-optional sandy stretch beloved by the kind of locals who have been going for years. A real Twin Cities open secret.
