Good place to relax but ppl don't seem to pickup after their dogs- too many dog droppings all over the place!

Took us around less than 1 hour to go around the lake. We had a dog and small kid with us on the hike. There isnt a trail around the lake, but you can still walk around . Lots of space for parking. We came here on warm day in March and the lake was frozen.

A cute lake tucked a bit from the street. It almost makes you forget all the people nearby. I enjoy walking around here during the summer, but after seeing it today it's just as pretty in the winter! If it weren't so cold I'd be able to admire the ice on top of the water more. This is such a peaceful area & everyone keeps it clean. I've seen people go fishing here, but I've never done it myself so I don't know how good it is. This is a great place to relax when the weather is nice enough to do so. This is a cute spot to have a picnic, but make sure to pack all your garbage afterwards so we can keep the space clean.
