Walking and biking path is a short, flat route in Sunfish Lake Park, a city-managed park in Minnesota. The path is about 1.5 miles long and is an out-and-back, with a one-way climb of 24 feet and a total round-trip gain of 61 feet. It is rated easy and works for both walking and riding a bike. The start sits at about 870 feet, and the high point is about 892 feet, so the whole trip is nearly level. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Andover put July highs around 82°F with lows near 60°F, while January highs average only 22°F. Several other routes lie within a short drive, including the Monarch Trail and Northern Lights Trail for cross-country skiing about 5 to 6 miles away. Paddlers can reach Coon Creek, about 8 miles off, for canoeing.
