With a dazzling landscape of emerald green and sparkling blue, Plymouth is an attractive city -- and that's before you add in the fact that it sits just 12 miles northwest of Downtown Minneapolis and is one of the city's largest suburbs. But Plymouth, with its robust business climate, has become a true live-work-play community. The city is dotted with lakes -- Medicine Lake being the largest -- and it is filled with parks and golf courses.
The parks that surround Medicine Lake are some of the finest. French Regional Park, on the north end of the lake, contains a swimming beach, hiking and biking trails, playgrounds, and opportunities for boating, fishing, cross-country skiing, sledding, and snowshoeing. East Medicine Lake Park also provides a swimming beach and boat launch, while West Medicine Lake has a boat launch, picnic areas, a playground, a sand volleyball court, hiking trails, and a basketball court.
