Awarded to the bold and curious! This POAP is given to participants who were the first to discover and claim a location in the 612 POAP Challenge. Like a true trailblazer, you navigated the city and charted new digital ground. With compass in hand and adventure in your heart, you led the way for others to follow.

This is a special token to commemorate the 8th Anniversary of the Weekly Thing by Jamie Thingelstad, established in 2017.

Once known as Lake Calhoun, Bde Maka Ska now proudly carries its Dakota name, reflecting the rich Indigenous heritage of the land. With sailboats slicing the water and cyclists circling its shores, it’s a hub of activity and reflection. Whether you’re paddleboarding, picnicking, or pausing at the lake’s cultural pavilion, you’re immersed in the city’s natural heartbeat. This Lake Lover POAP honors your time spent at the largest—and perhaps most loved—lake in the 612 POAP Challenge.
