The Grand Rounds National Scenic Byway is an urban parkway system in Minneapolis. Spanning over 100 miles, it connects a variety of natural and constructed features, including lakes, creeks, woodlands, parks, trails, and playgrounds. Lake Nokomis is part of this scenic byway and is one of the city's Chain of Lakes. Previously known as Lake Amelia, it was renamed in 1910 to honor Nokomis, grandmother of Hiawatha. This oval-shaped lake features a 2.7-mile pedestrian trail and a 2.8-mile bicycle trail.
