The hiking trail was a bit much for me, because I was super out of shape. But other than that, the scenery was so beautiful and the air smelled sweet. I saw a turtle, spider (it was HUGE) and so many ant hills (so be careful.. You have been warned). Also, there were so many of those tiny little beetles which I thought were some kind of tick.. Thank goodness they weren't.. But there were so so so many of them. They would cling on to your clothes, hair and sometimes your face. One almost flew into my mouth. Luckily, I closed it just in time.. Eeew! The lake water is dirty, so I don't recommend swimming. Kayaking/Canoeing is fine. Fishing is ok (must have fishing license) but you can't fish on the bridge (because of the pandemic, I'm assuming). Great place for family outings and small picnics. Great place to take pictures, too. No collecting wild plants/flowers and rocks are allowed in the park. What really urked me was that people weren't being considerate.. Meaning they didn't have any face masks on. Please put them on or just don't come outside. Don't spread it! That's all.
