This is a coveted spot, quite visible from the highway. It was stunning on Sunday with the warmer weather. Blue skies, cool breeze and calm waters:) The asphalt trail is perfect for walking dogs or riding a bike and loops around back to the parking once completed. It gets confusing at the end of the trail because it feels as if there is no further you can go....but you would have to just walk along the side of the main road to get back to cars. There are docks, fishing is allowed and this lake has water lillies:) There are cove-live shady spots along the lake that are very pretty. I caught a cute pic of a kid climbing the tall trees and hanging from the branches. I also noticed the thoughtful man-made bird houses for the birds. Great for kayaking. This is a stunning spot, if you would allow yourself to be captured by it's beauty and ignore the highway noises!

Pretty spot. Great for taking pictures if your up for a short walk to get to a spot to take them. You can fish here. Seen cranes, fish and turtles and other wildlife. Lots of bike riders and people walking their dogs. There is a dog park off the trail. Pretty place for a picnic. Bring your own picnic blanket there are no tables.

Okay place for a walk if you live close and need a trail, and I've heard the fishing is pretty good, but personally, I think this place is mostly just a good spot for I-70 travelers (particularly ones with canine companions) needing to stretch their legs. The highway noise is positively deafening - you'll see warblers in the trees, but you won't be able to hear them. 😦 This element kinda makes it feel like a glorified rest stop, and even on THAT count it falls short, what that the vault toilet (with no TP... ) and no running water. Safety note: watch out for hooks and other fishing debris along the shoreline.

Great kayaking lake. Drop your boat off at the loading area and close parking. We saw a heron and a cute little turtle today. No permit required for the kayaks!

Love to kayak and canoe here. Good ramp, easy access.

Wonderful place to go for a bike ride or just stretch your legs with a nice walk or run. I love that there are a lot of shaded areas on the path and that they have a lot of easily accessible lakeside spots for fishing or a cozy picnic! Plenty of benches to rest and the blue springs dog park is conveniently located just up the hill.

This is one of our favorite places to walk as a family. My children love to walk, fish, and go to the dog park. The trail is paved, well maintained, and perfect for walkers, strollers, bikes, and runners. My children also love to take the paddle boat out on the peaceful lake. I can't forget to mention that the trees protect you from the sun and your less likely to get overheated.

The walking trail now goes all the way around the lake. Great trail in great condition. Nice and peaceful. There is a dog park. Lots of fishing. And can we talk about the beautiful water lilies! Great place to walk.

Love the lake. If your fishing be prepared for turtles

Perfect, anytime you go over there.
