Universal Access
Note that the path from the parking lot to the paved loop trail is dirt and crushed stone. The trail that circles the lake is paved and accessible.

Pets
Dogs are allowed only if leashed and must be cleaned up after.

Warning
Geese: This park is a magnet for Canadian Geese, which can be found littering the trail, usually on the south side. These geese often have babies with them and will protect their young, so give them plenty of space. In addition to the geese, parts of this trail can be found littered with goose droppings, so watch your step.
