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.
