Love these animals here - I’ve grow very fond of these ducks and they like me - Many turtles in the lake - fish - and random rare birds from time to time- Dog owners it’s a nice walk around the lake - but very uneven - the ducks nest and nap throughout the entire park- So Owners PLEASE take caution while your doggies…
Oh my goodness, I love this place. I take my dogs, they have horses., ducks, dogs, turtles, fishing,. My two dogs and I walk around the beautiful lake and then we take a nice hike right next door where there's a pathway that'll go about five miles.

Nice, clean, peaceful recreational area. Great for kids. Nice 30-60 minute walk/hike depending on whether you choose to continue on one of the connecting hiking trails.
