Lake Katherine Nature Center and Botanic Gardens

Yes. Dogs are allowed.

Yes it is. Community garden and all. Even the nature center is free although not as big as the little red school house, it's still big enough for little ones to explore. The only thing u would have to pay for is a boat/kayak during spring/summer if you wanted to go on the lake. Other than that it's free of charge.

There is no fishing allowed in Lake Catherine however there is a fishing spot under the bridge where I see everyone fishing Which is just a few steps away from Lake Catherine

Based on the map on their web site it appears to be 1 mile. It says lake loop = 1 mile.

Free parking and free admission

Really I am not understanding what you said

Yes u can

Yes some parts are a bit rough with strollers & scooters.Most is paved around lake.There also is a nice little nature center.I'm not sure about the hours .

Yes In late spring and summer there is kayaking it's not hard a guy tells you the basics and you go out on the lake and learn it's a lot of fun. My daughter and I went last summer had a blast

Hi, I am LK’s marketing coordinator. Kayak rentals begin may 29 at Lake Katherine. The coat is $8 per person and there are also Groupon deals. You cannot bring private kayaks or canoes.

The trail is always open. Do you mean the building? It closes for private parties and it may be closed for Covid safety.

Outdoors is open, not sure about the buildings

No, however you can enjoy a picnic if you bring your own prepared food and clean up after yourself.

Yes dogs are allowed but they have to be on a leash.

Yes but you need it on leash

It closes later but before it gets dark.

Not sure of actual depth, maybe 3-5' at center of lake.

No.

No picnics, but the outer lawn is a nice place to sit if you have several people.

No tables.

Have not seen anyone do that. Not sure.

Kayaks also rental 10$ hr

I'm not positive but I believe it does you should double-check

Not in the winter. The water fall there is beautiful any time of the year. Easy access from parking area.

Lots of benches to sit on and eat.

Yes but note the bathrooms are not open. No porta pottys either.

Welcomed and Encouraged

Yes & Yes. Great place for a dog walk. Its free and beautiful trails.

Picnics are ok. There are a couple of picnic tables on the hiking trail. No fishing allowed.

No, there isn't. Fishing isn't allowed.

No fishing is allowed.

It is a Rocky path I wouldn't suggest a wheelchair neither although it is possible

With a little hard work from the person directing the chair yes

Good question not sure just give them a call and ask I'm sure you will find your answer quickly

Bike are ridden on the asphalt not the wood chip paths.

8 and 10 dollars per person

Yes you can

There are alot of visitors walking on a daily basis. Plus dogs are welcomed as well. There really isn't any secluded areas.

Absolutely

That's a big NO on that ! There plenty of fishing spots around this area you can fish. Lake Katherine is more of a nature habitat

Yes

The Call Sag trail runs right alongside. You can bike about 10 -12 miles along this paved trail. Very safe and pretty, not very crowded

There is an area you can reserve. Usually, it's set up for wedding ceremonies but you can call and ask if you can reserve it for a picnic.

It is free and there is a waterfall

Nope have to have an adult but the experience is AWESOME.

Like the previous response you received your best bet would be to call them .

Yes you can all of you has to wear live vest for safety witch they provide it when you rent the kayak.

I don't have an answer for you but given that it is not dark until around 9PM in the Summer, I would agree with you. I would treat it like a Municipal Park or Forest Perserve and say it closes at dusk.

Twice a year i believe they have a tournament. Otherwise no
