About Phalen Park

Phalen Regional Park is located in the northeastern portion of St. Paul, with a small portion extending north into its suburb of Maplewood. The park’s overall area is 494 acres; its centerpiece is Lake Phalen, with a surface area of 198 acres. Phalen is part of a chain of lakes starting several miles north and draining to the south into Phalen Creek, which flows to the Mississippi River. The topography is a mix of rolling hills and fairly level areas.

​The park contains a number of activity areas including a network of paths encircling the lake, used most frequently for walking and jogging. The shore length of Lake Phalen is approximately three miles. The lake is popular for fishing and boating, and people can rent canoes and navigate many miles to the north through the chain of lakes.
