About
Korte feiten: More than 4,500 acres of woodland, prairie, and lakes sit inside a single urban park, offering roughly 40 miles of trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. You can smell cut grass and watch dragonflies skitter over shallow harbors, while kayaks and fat-tire bikes pop along the shoreline.
Hoogtepunten: A huge off-leash dog area covers dozens of fenced acres, and most weekends draw several hundred dogs and owners who splash, play fetch, and socialize along the water's edge. Low sunlight slants across the open prairie and mirrors the sky on quiet bays, creating sunset photos where orange and purple streaks fill a horizon framed by kayaks and distant train horns.
Insider tips
- Wear sturdy shoes and layers, trails can be muddy and temperatures change quickly.
- Arrive early on weekends to beat crowds, mid-day Saturdays are the busiest.
- Bring insect repellent in spring and summer, shoreline areas attract mosquitoes.
- Head to the lake shoreline or elevated trail overlooks for sunrise or sunset photos.
