Lakeside Loop: Walk the Seward Park Shore Trail

Stroll the scenic 2.4-mile Shore Loop Trail in Seward Park, where lake breezes, tall trees, and city views make for a peaceful date close to home. The paved path is easy to navigate and filled with places to pause, whether you're watching birds, snapping photos, or sharing snacks along the shoreline. You can also branch off into forested side trails, rent bikes, or bring a picnic for a full afternoon of relaxed fun. It's a favorite for couples who love nature without needing to go far from the city.

After your walk, grab flavorful Southeast Asian rice bowls or wings from Bang Bang Kitchen, or head to Flying Lion Brewing for a post-walk pint. Willing to drive a little further? Beacon Hill favorites Musang and Milk Drunk offer exceptional Filipino food and fried chicken sandwiches about 15 minutes away.
