Quiet little lake on the edge of the city.

mike winkler

Small walk to a lookout over the lake. Great for families

Stacey M

Great little walk. No services, which is expected so no complaints.

Steve Simpson

This is the place to go if you want to watch migrating water fowl. Bring binoculars or a spotting scope and a field guide.

Lucy Zhang

Good place to visit

Ron Baker

Gorgeous winter walk!

JAY NECIP

Good pike fishing in this lake

Mark Hammar

A nice place for a short walk. Lots of woods to look around in.

Tiasa Mondol

Very quaint with well developed trails and lookouts. Lovely during autumn.

Vanessa Cad

Very muddy for spring season. You can fish along the side of the road. Trails are decent, just your typical conservation.

Lifeberg Lifeberg

Good for occasional angling. Not a great place to stop but there is a small parking for the trail.

Jordon Slaght

A good selection of trails to please everyone. With great natural sites to see along them. No shortage of wildlife either. We were lucky enough to spot a large array of birds and aquatic life. If enjoy waterlands this is a great stop!

Sandra Allen

Such a stunning place . Love the watch tower. I could spend hours up there

Glenn Duckworth

This place is a decent walk, but incredibly short, and the lookout tower is pretty neat. The lake is super choked out with weeds though which makes shore fishing bad unless you're using a topwater frog or something.

Eric Westwood

Nice woods and look out location! Bring your mtb bike!

Went for the ice fishing and stayed to freeze our toes off. We had difficulty finding water of much depth, about 170ft out it was approx 4ft with 10"of ice on it. We spent two hours jigging Slab Grabbers and nothing hit. Not sure the freeze was worth the experience

Terry M

Good spot to fish

Bartosz Scheller

Great place for a short walk with a dog or by yourself. It is quite windy in November with the lack of leaves so be aware. Especially with the water nearby. But relatively quiet.

This is a small little hiking spot with a great view of a lush lilly padded lake. Groups of Herons flock here every year and they can be seen flying in around sunset on most nights. Its a beautiful sight to see, these birds are huge. At times when they fly in, in large tight packed groups it looks almost as if a plane is landing on the lake. Truly surreal.

Travis Vasil

Good trail just very short, has a lookout area which is nice

Kyra Pope

Overall the area is small and not ideal for long hikes, but commonly used by fishers. Great place to enjoy wildlife with six swans living within the lakes ecosystem

Hodl imust

Great views

Sarah Hubber

Short walk but the outlook was good. It was in great condition and safe. Great view for the lake, fall colours and the swans. Trail is not maintained making it a great learning walk for kids. Variety of species scene.

Samuel Peyton

This place is a little slice of heaven! A must see. There is a great flat ground forest area and a beautiful trail with water views. I blindfolded my children and walked them to the water as a surprise. Their hearts melted ♥

dan lindner

No watercraft allowed! Nothing posted online about it. Drove 45 mins for disappointment

Kate Mills

Ontario Reviewer

Went there for fishing. Caught some smallmouth, panfish, and pike. Area was generally clean, and well-maintained.

Rebecca Horman

Very short walk (0.7 km). But a nice look out.

Devin Grosz

Great place to try bird photography. Fairly hilly. Some trails are very wide.

Justin Case

Great walking trails for the whole family. Saw some swans on the lake ! Great photo opportunities.

Lois Luz-Darkes

nice rest stop for doggie pull over

Meg Pill

This is not a place for tourists to come and visit! It surprises me as a local that anyone would. The trails are not really worth it. This is a place you stop if you are already in the neighbourhood, or if you want to fish. However, on the other hand, it's a beautiful place to find yourself surrounded by fireflies. I also enjoy the metal view post and the access beside it to the water.

jerry duarte

Wonderful place to spend the day

Dan Murphy

Good for a quick hike.

STEPHEN Macneil

Good size body of water. Usually has ducks, gulls. And in the warm weather. There are swans. Bench seat is there. Pretty serene.

Dan Kitzman

Beautiful. Great for rare bird sightings

Dave Evans

Nice trails, very rustic, no maintenance of parking or trails.

Alysheia Dakin

Small area but some beautiful scenery around the lake

Kevin Sharpen

Beautiful place no washrooms so planning is necessary.

Great place for a short walk. Nice view from the lookout over the lake.

Beautiful lake..

(Translated) The scenery is good, there are too many water plants, not suitable for fishing! (Original) 风景好，水草太多，不适合钓鱼！
