Ketner Open Space — Attraction in Westminster

I decided to fish at this lake for an old friend's birthday and guess what? I caught 3! Funny thing is, my friend lived near here 20 years couldn't catch a single one he said. Caught 2, 12 inch trout and 1, 10 inch! 😝 Dunno why but I guess the fish figured his birthday was special today. I've had lots of bites but they keep kicking it out but that's OK! I still caught 2 and yeah.... it's been fun today for Sam's birthday. I wish you the best wherever you are. I am sorry, for everything. If you ever see this, I really want you to know, I am very sorry for everything I put you through. I love you with all my heart and I'm sorry for what my insane self did... I am literally about to be deemed legally insane... Nobody deserves to be around me. You'll always be my favorite and I'll never be able to move on but I'm too crazy for friends or relationships anyway so at least I ended on a fairly good note. You always brought out the courage in me. You pushed me to new heights every time we got together but it was not meant to be. I am strong enough to at least keep trying to adventure, even if solo from now on. Even in caves. I know I'll never need anybody cause look, I can even feed myself with fish in a SHTF scenario. Goodbye friend. I'll go again every year for your birthday until I can't... we spent so much wonderful...

Love this park and have been going for over 20 years! Large walking path around the lake and surrounding area with mixed terrain, some is paved and some dirt. Lots of wildlife including birds, turtles, ducks, frogs and of course fish.

07/2024 update Went fishing today and the lake looked terrible the place is not taken care of his trash lying everywhere the lake is very low on the water It's been way overfished and not restocked ever. The lake has been in constant deterioration and was once a very nice park I enjoyed spending time at now when I go there it's A shadow of itself, very uncared for and I miss the way it used to be. No more dock they took it down I'm guessing to make sure homeless people dont stay there. For years small groups of people came all the time at night and took far more than the limit. Now the lake is mostly full of Carp which are still fun to catch but I used to catch Carp, Big Mouth Bass, Small Mouth Bass, Crappie, Trout, Perch, SunFish, Bluegill it had them all. Sad the city don't stock or take care of this one beautiful neighborhood park. Come on Westminister do something to make this park...

I really do like this area! Nice kids park. A good size fire pit with a large Simicircle seating area that a large group of people could sit enjoy the fire make smore's, or cook hotdogs over the fire. Right next to it there is a charcoal BBQ also so if you wanted to have a cookout its all set up for ya! Over looking the fire pit is 3 large totem poles which would look awesome lit 🔥 by a fire at night! There is also a good size lake that I've never been skunked at when 🎣 fishing. I know the do stock it during the spring time so most what you will catch will be stocker size trout, great for bringing the kids! I've also caught some bass and night fishing got some large catfish! I've never tryed foe them but there are some massive carp in there that I've seen! There is a nice trail that runs around the whole area so if your just looking for a walk/ run this area is also nice. This place is kinda tucked into the neighborhood so it's not overly packed! I personally do...
