Kaufman Lake

Reviewed By kirkl370 - Champaign-Urbana, United States

Good for fishing and a picnic lunch. The wheel chair accessable fishing deck is a nice touch. Also features a nice paved path/track that loops around the lake. There's even a grill where you can cook your fresh catch, and a small boathouse that can be rented for group meetings or events. Its a good park for sure, though the fish themselves can be hard to come by.
