You might even see some duck eggs. If you do, leave them alone…

You can fish in the lake, as long as you have a fishing license. You’re encouraged to practice catch-and-release, but you can keep up to two fish.

You can even bring your furry friend along! Just keep him on leash and clean up after him to keep the park nice for everyone.

You’ll find benches throughout the park - perfect spots to sit with a book, or to just look out over the lake.
