Bring a picnic and eat in the observation tower thing right next to the big bridge . Don't forget to bring extra bread for the ducks! Afterwards, go for a paddle boat ride if they're open.

Great walk! Most of the runners were really nice - but there is always one that gets upset that you are in the way

2 miles around. Nice & flat, a great place to run.

If you're lucky you might see a bald eagle. They're here!

It just seems easier to run this loop clockwise. It feels like you run more downhill that direction.

Apparently, there is a 12 ft black snake named Fred who lives around the bathrooms .
