Lake Murray is an awesome place to beat the summer heat! I love bring my kayak and laying out by the water. It also has the perfect trail for running when it cools down in the morning and afternoons

Austin Narduzzi

Rentals for kayaks or motor boats are fun and reasonably priced! Nice people and great fun activities to do.

Carolyn Scholl

Whole trail is opened up now. 5.7 mile route if you stay on the paved trail . But there is no water out there so bring a bottle or two

Chris Kenniston

Seeing all the morning and afternoon joggers gives me motivation to walk down to the jogging path and run myself.

Gris Garcia

Great place to take long walks, take a nap in the car, very peaceful , great view to take photos.

Tai Kmak

Wear a hat and bring water as it gets hot this time of year!

Annie Downing

Just so nice to relax, have a snack , walk and people watch .

Ryan A.

Not a bad place to eat lunch or meet people, but it's horrible for exercise moral due to its shape and the fence at the end, no loop...

Gregory Peer

A great place for bird watching . Don't forget your binoculars or camera .

Renee Calvo

Plan your walk/run between 7-8 pm. It is less crowded and it is much cooler in temperature.

Beverly

I know the 25+ signs telling you to stay to the right are confusing but do you drive like that as well ?!

Mo Al

Great for baseball otherwise check out another local park

John Graham

Good shore access for fishing . There are some big Blue and Channel Catfish . Let the big ones go to fight again.

Bob L.

Park outside the park near the Starbucks if you run in the late afternoon. Sign says they close the gates at sunset . Enjoy!

Corbin Mack

Awesome fun running

Best place around 7:00 p.m., nice to see the sun go down.

Becky Phillipson

Run it. It will only take you an hour. You can rest when you're dead:)

Caitlin Teemsma

Great place to go for a run

Darlene

Give the geese some lettuce (even though there's signs saying not to feed the animals).

Maureen Jones

You used to be able to walk around the whole lake , but they have closed the back half.

Barbara Slavin

Was there for a big fight among the geese !

Very pretty park , lots of paved roads and paths so it's disabled-accessible.

Christine Wilson

Good place to jog...when it's not so hot out.

Jessie C
