The walking trail that goes around the lake isn't very long so it's definitely a great place to just take a short stroll, I personally didn't even plan on going all the way around but did on accident. I thoroughly enjoyed the scenary and bridge-like feature on the trail. I came here to do some fishing but sadly had no luck what-so-ever.
