    Nice beautiful lake to feel the serenity of water. There were a few groups of people practicing rowing there. I wish they had nice trail close to the water.

    Really nice public lake. I think the real attraction for a lot of people is the walking/running path around the lake. There are multiple loops you can make including a 2 mile, 4 mile, and 4.5 mile loop. Relatively flat as far as SF goes (~130 ft of elevation for the 4.5 mile loop). Really nice place to workout and see other people walking around.

    Do yourself a favor and walk 15 minutes to Fort Funston for an infinitely more gorgeous natural environment.

    Great to bike around the lake. Fishing is only good when they stock them.

    Good spot for a 4 mile run. A lot of passing traffic and busses emit pollution which can be bothersome at times but still a decent place for a walk and to enjoy scenery.

    Lake merced is a beautiful place with a massive trail wrapping around it. Even though the lake doesn’t look the best sometimes, there are so many little hidden areas to view the lake. I love biking around the lake because of all the nature surrounding it. It’s a fairly calm ride but sometimes there can be a lot of pedestrians.

    (Translated by Google) It is a beautiful lake in which you can observe seagulls, raccoons; you always meet people running or walking around it, it has a children's playground, you can take the bus since it has a bus stop that takes you to Sloat Blvd. (Original) Es un lago precioso en el cual puedes observar gaviotas, mapaches; siempre te encuentras con gente corriendo o caminando alrededor de él, tiene un parque para niños, puedes tomar el bus ya que cuenta con parada de bus que te saca a Sloat Blvd.

👍👍 Beautiful lake within Golden Gate Park. There are always ducks there and you have a great view surrounding you. It’s also a good place to get your daily exercise in since you are able to walk around the lake via the path.
