Waterloo Lake — Attraction in Denison

Love this park. The lakes main trail is half covered in trees and half in the sun along the lake. It is a intermediate/ moderate trail that takes me about 45 min to an hour to leisurely walk with my dog.

Boy was she ever wrong. The scenery and views of the lake were amazing. We will definitely stop again the next time we are...
