An enjoyable easy walk around the lake is less than 1 mile long. A perfect way to get some fresh air and exercise. We missed the peak tree colors as most of the trees surrounding the lake had already lost their leaves. The 3rd week of September was most likely at the peak. There were also horse back riders. A dog friendly walk on a paved path. There are other activities including a maze. Restrooms were available. The parking area was crowded as this was a popular destination. Anyone going into Blowing Rock from here would have about an hour wait in traffic to go about 2 miles.

Such a wonderful and beautiful place to walk around, have a picnic, or even take engagement photos! The trail around the lake is connected to several other trails which lead to Moses Cone Memorial Park and Trout Lake. The lake is abundant with lily pads and it is conveniently close to downtown Blowing Rock. If you're looking for a photographer for weddings and engagements, check out rodneysmithphotography.com

Its pretty big and beautiful lake. I like that pinetrees are on the small island almost in the middle of the lake. You can see M. Cone mension from there. It's absolutely be to visit this place in autumn. There benches around the lake. Its nice place to visit with your partner or with family.

I love this place. The wide and flat gravel path is easily accessible from Blowing Rock or by hiking from Moses Cone Manor on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Wonderful place to find wildlife and beautiful views of the lake. Kid and dog friendly with multiple places to stop and take in the space.

Very nice trail that goes to different places.would've loved to walk through the manor but it was too far with 2 kids. And only 1 stroller. I loved that there were benches you can sit at and just have a picnic. Really loved how clean it was as well.
