Tips from locals
Another large swimming beach with a surrounding trail and kayak rentals available!
Very popular walking and biking (trail around lake is 2 miles) but connected into a city trail network. Boat rental concession, beach, amphitheater, nations largest collection of crab apple trees and more.
Rent a kayak or just go for a walk around the lake. This is a beautiful place to see the sun go down over downtown.
