Hiking
Clifton E. French Regional Park provides a wide range of activities, including playgrounds, a visitor center, swimming beach, fishing pier, and illuminated trails. The north shore of Medicine Lake is the most popular area, attracting people who enjoy swimming in the water and relaxing on the beach.

Hiking
Clifton E. French Regional Park is named in honor of Cliff French (1918 - 2006), who, during his 21-year tenure as superintendent, expanded the Hennepin County Park Reserve District (now renamed the Three Rivers Park District) from 1,400 acres to 24,000 acres and established the Twin Cities Metropolitan Regional Park System. Martha and I are so grateful for his work because he provided us outdoor activities throughout the entire Minneapolis and St Paul metropolitan region.
