Small municipal lake with tree-lined shore, boardwalks and open water — great for reflections, sunrise/sunset color and local waterfowl. Easy roadside access and free parking at 700 N Cherokee St; no entry fee. Best at golden hour for warm light and calm water; spring and fall offer migratory birds and richer foliage; winter can yield stark, minimal scenes. Paths are stroller-friendly; expect local anglers and occasional weekend families.
