Why go
The lake and surrounding wooded trails provide a focused place to watch birds and other wildlife close to the city. Its natural-area designation puts observation first, so the reward is a slower walk and time at the water rather than sports facilities or a packed activity list.
What to look for
- Look for birds and other wildlife around the lake.
- Wooded trails pass through protected habitat.
- The lake was originally created to supply water for railroad operations.
Useful to know
- Treat this as a daytime walk and choose a trail length that fits your group.
- Check the park’s current trail notices before leaving, particularly if you have a specific route in mind.
