Nice little Lake and Dam in the neighborhood. Mix of hikers, trail runners and mountain bikers. The lake is close to the entrance on a wide, easy path. Do mind the bees, so watch the kids and dogs when they check out a tree.

A great place for a walk. A little muddy in spots after the rain. Good for an easy 3 mile walk at a minimum.

* Pretty good easy hike in Belmont with a few climbs at the end. Wide fire roads, so it was easy to do with kids * Located just off of Ralston. Lots of mountain bikers * The "lake" was underwhelming * Start on Lake Road - Bear Left on Lake Road Trail - .8 mi make a sharp right down to the lake - left towards the far edge of thelake up to Water Dog Loop Trail - left onto Berry Trail - rightonto John Brooks Trail

How far from the parking lot is the lake ?

About 15 min walk. Not a real park. Only a non swimming lake and hiking trails. Nothing else.

Is it safe to swim in the water?

No, I'm sure it's not allowed and you wouldn't want to anyways as it's not clean

I can fish here. And how long does it take me to get to the lake.

No fish that i know of... never seen anyone fishing here. It's an easy walk... say a quarter mile on a wide fireroad to the lake

I decided not let my dog swim due to concerns about water quality , circulation, leptospirosis. However, All the dogs there have been swimming there for many years, with out problems, time for someone to do some research.
