I can kill hours here sitting alongside the lake with a book catching some sun rays. I used to like to take my nephews and nieces here to play on the playground, but they have grown a little to old for that now. The trails are pretty peaceful and they aren't really treacherous or anything. It really good wholesome fun for the whole family."^^ . . "0"^^ . "4"^^ . .
