I love this lake . there are lots of paths and parks along it to relax and in the winter, you'll see 4 or 5 ice rinks created on the lake for hockey !

Not only do I live over in this area, I enjoy going to the lake to Roller Blade , Walk the Dogs, Sit on the sand and watch the sun set. But I just plain out enjoy it so much more than the over crowede Read more

It is beautiful all year round! There is the paying for parking , which I don’t always remember being there, other than that it’s still beautiful with a great park for kids!

Watch the US Pond Hockey Championships each winter right on the lake

Decent beach , lots of sailboats and kayaks . Bathroom facilities and food and ice cream shop right next to the beach .

Great for a less touristy lake . It is beautiful for a fall walk.

Great for walking, running, biking or swimming .

Nice views of the lake and walking trails .

Soooo many pokestops!

Lots of grilling going on at the 4th of July!

Watch out for the people who can't read the signs that walk on the bike path
