Go for easy nature walks
The 2-mile lake loop is flat and shaded, perfect for young children or families wanting a relaxed outing.
Arrive early on weekends
Parking fills quickly during baseball season and on weekends, especially if you want a shaded bench by the water.
Bring a stroller alternative
The trail has tree trunks, uneven ground, and narrow sections that make stroller navigation difficult in some areas.
Watch for muddy sections
After rain, certain trail areas become very muddy, and the lake bed (when drained) has deceptively soft mud.
Plan for wildlife watching
This park is excellent for spotting geese, ducks, herons, turtles, deer, and migrating birds, especially in spring.
