There are nicely developed paths along both sides of the Mississippi River near the university, and there various bridges crossing the river. One might, for example, get together in the lobby of the Radisson, walk westward until hitting the walking path on the east side of the river, turn south, walk down to the Franklin Avenue bridge, cross over to the west side of the river, walk north until the Washington Avenue bridge, cross back again to the east side of the river and then return to the Radisson. Such an excursion would likely take about two hours. (Note: There is one small complication. When walking to the river from the Radisson, you'll run into East River Road, and this boarders a large park, with dense vegetation and a steep slope that prevents you from going on to the walking path. Turn *north* and proceed to the entrance of the park, then turn west again and go to the walking path, and then turn south. Once you actually find a walking path from which the river is visible, everything else should be straightforward.) <br> <br> </font> <li><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Biking and Blading</b><br> <font color="#FF0000">Rental</font> -- <br> Calhoun Rental > Bikes & Blades<br> 1622 W Lake St <br> Minneapolis, MN 55408<br> (612) 827-8231<br> <br> <font color="#FF0000">Rates:</font><br> Bike: $6/hr, $24/day; tandem: $10/hr, $40/day; recumbent: $8/hr, $32/day;<br> Rollerblade $6/hr, $24/day. <br> <br> Bike trails and maps <br> <a href="http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/citywork/public-works/transportation/bicycles/maps/" target="_blank">http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/citywork/public-works/transportation/bicycles/maps/<br> <br> <br> </a></font> <li><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Rollerblading</b><br> <br> </font> <li><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Canoeing:</b> explore "Chain of Lakes" in a canoe. <br> where: the refreshment stand on the NE corner of Lake Calhoun<br> <br> To get there by bus, take Bus 16 heading downtown, get off at Nicolet.
