City insight: Prior Lake

Prior Lake is an exurban city in Scott County, Minnesota, about 20 miles southwest of Minneapolis and next to Savage and Shakopee. It sits on the shores of Lower and Upper Prior Lake, just south of the Minnesota River, and had a population of 27,617 at the 2020 census. Winters are cold and snowy and summers are warm and humid, so late spring and early autumn are the best seasons for running or racing.
