Small urban lake with a boardwalk, marsh edges and walking trails offering reflections, waterfowl and seasonal color. Best at sunrise or late afternoon golden hour for warm light and reflections; spring and fall offer migrant birds and vivid foliage. Easy access with a small parking lot off Central Ave NE, paved trails and short walks from parking; no entry fee. Weekdays are quieter; winter ice scenes and snow add variety.
