How tranquil Cleary Lake looks on this sunny afternoon. You might not believe it, but Cleary Lake Regional Park, just south of Prior Lake and Savage, is actually one of the most popular year-round recreation spots in the southern metro area. Cleary Lake Regional Park boasts a nine-hole golf course for those looking to enjoy a relaxing game surrounded by nature. For the more adventurous, there are lakeside picnic areas perfect for enjoying a meal with a view, and biking and hiking trails beckon you to explore the park’s diverse landscapes. In the heat of summer, cool off at the swimming beach or let your furry friends roam free in the off-leash pet exercise area. Don’t let the cold deter you; Cleary Lake Regional Park transforms into a winter wonderland when the snow falls. The park thoughtfully illuminates its trails for evening cross-country skiing, and if you’re feeling a bit more adventurous, there’s a “fat tire” trail with bike rentals available too. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful escape or an action-packed adventure, Cleary Lake Regional Park has something to offer everyone.
