*Dogs
must
be
kept
on
leads
and
must
not
drink
from
or
swim
in
the
water
due
to
blue-green
algae*
The
above
risk
of
blue-green
algae
poisoning
was
only
signposted
part
way
round,
not
near
the
main
sign,
oddly.
I
parked
at
the
small
car
park
beside
Homebase
with
no
trouble
-
entrance
to
the
left
of
the
old
St
John
Ambulance/Serena
Memorial
building.
I
saw
a
collection
of
terrapins!
Plus
lots
of
ducks,
Canada
geese
(they
hissed
at
my
dog,
despite
him
not
really
getting
close
to
them).
Plenty
of
moorhens
and
even
a
couple
of
Egyptian
geese.
Lots
of
people
fishing
here.
After
years
of
living
in
the
area
and
being
a
stones
throw
from
here
on
many
occasions,
I'd
never
visited.
To
manage
expectations
you
must
remember
that
this
is
very
close
to
the
centre
of
Dartford,
so
you
are
surrounded
by
industrial
estates,
some
houses,
and
right
beside
Homebase,
so
it
is
difficult
to
really
feel
lost
in
nature,
but
it
is
a
nice
walk
all
the
same,
and
handy
if
you
live
nearby
and
don't
want
to
travel
further
out.
I
walked
this
very
gently
so
spent
about
an
hour
going
round
stopping
to
look
at
the
geese
etc,
but
you'd
be
able
to
get
round
the
lake
in
half
an
hour.
There
appeared
to
be
a
pathway
down
the
centre
of
it
which
I
didn't
walk
along,
so
you
could
even
turn
it
into
a
figure
of
8
walk
maybe,
with
a
bit
of
overlap.
It
connects
to
Dartford
Park
via
the
underpass,
so
could
easily
extend
your
walk
partway
round,
but
again
I
didn't
take
that
route.
Overall,
worth
a
visit
for
a
short
walk
if
you
haven't
got
far
to
travel
to
get
here.
