Small urban lake with trails, boardwalks and wetlands offering reflections, wildlife (ducks, herons), and seasonal color. Best at golden hour for warm light and glassy water; autumn yields strong foliage. Easily walkable flat trails and accessible boardwalks; free parking at trailhead on Ellis Trail Rd NW. No entry fee; weekdays and early mornings have few people. Good winter silhouettes and ice patterns after freezes.
