A super great place for fishing, running/ walking,cycling., hiking or just to have a picnic or even just to cruise around this is our #1best place to go when we just wanna get out of the house! Sulbk even comes out in the summer months!!

Nice walk around the lake ; got to see hundreds of prairie dogs ; so cute (though we wouldn't want them in our yard) .

Unless someone tells you about Dunbar Historical Lake in Lubbock Texas it is unlikely you would find many mentions online of this place. It is a welcome respite of water in dry West Texas. During the spring and summer kayak and stand up paddle board rentals are available. There is a 2 mile drive/walking lane around the park, which also includes a small waterfall. Locals bring chairs and fishing poles (catch and release, the water isn't that great) and there are benches and picnic tables scattered throughout. I took a friend visiting from out of town there recently and it was just lovely to sit by the water to visit and watch families enjoying this great outdoors green space.
