We walked around the lake and enjoyed the views from everywhere. Very clean, peaceful and serene. Lots of people were fishing - looked like a great place to hang out for the day.

The trails are very nice to walk. Every time we go in the summer we see numerous birds, dragonflys and lizards. Very pleasant place to walk and enjoy nature.
