Jensen Lake Trailhead — Attraction in Eagan

I went on Mothers Day. It was 87 degrees outside in the sun. But down around the marsh, it actually cooled off a bit.

It took me an hour to get a round. I hadn't ever been to Jesen Lake. So, I explored a bit. Lots of people probably didn't judge how big it was and hadn't brought water. I definitely advise to bring water & a small snack. A few benches available around the lake to take breaks.

All vehicles had smashed windows and everyone reported items stolen. We are from out of town and we were completely blindsided so I think everyone has a right to know it’s not the wholesome place...
