Went fishing. Our goal was to enjoy a day of fishing. The park was very nice. It has a walking trail and a decent playground for the little ones. We saw people walking their dogs around on leashes. A photographer was out there. We even caught a fish with a spinner bait.

This is a pretty park with a nice bridge and good walking trails. There are playgrounds for both older and younger kids around the trail, and plenty of places to stop to take in the lake. It's not a very long trail, so if you are looking to walk/jog for any length of time, you will either need to go around several times or find a different trail.

We went on a recent afternoon and walked the 0.67 mile nature trail around the lake. The trail is very easy to walk and shaded. There are a few tree identification signs. More signage can certainly be done to put more nature on the trail (a good Eagle Scout project?). But, it was a very nice walk. The lake is not huge, and there were several people fishing (catch-and-release only). There is a good-sized fishing/observation pier. There is one picnic shelter and a few picnic tables. What I found most interesting was the information provided about the history of this property. There is a very good sign just outside the parking lot. This property was used by the local African-American community for recreation (dances, picnics, boat rides, camping, and sporting events) for, perhaps, several decades. A very interesting bit of local history.

Nice path around a small lake with a playground and picnic area. It's a quiet walk around but it is relatively short.

It was a very good place to enjoy with friends and families. It has a half an hour walk among the lake and woods. You can even jog and roam also. many of them do fishing too
