If the lagoon had sludge removed and depth deeper it would be an awsome fishing pond. Still, salmon spawn here, and you can see huge fish jumping out of water and that time of year it is packed solid with fishermen. It's exciting to watch and the waterfall is beautiful.
It's a lovely little damn area. There's also a small walkway through the trees. It's very charming.
It is a lovely place to take a walk, go for a run or even a drive. There's a decent sized waterfall, a long River to walk alongside, a spot to fish by the river, lots of geese and hiking trails galore! If you keep walking East you end up on Lake Michigan. Great for bike riding anytime of the year, there are some steep inclines, making for a moderate riding challenge. The only downside is the traffic on that road is the route most taken to get to the beach. If biking be cautious of the teenage drivers that whip around the blind spots.
We only went to the playground but walking through the grounds are well kept and clean. Pleanty of parking for those going to the games and pleanty of room to bring your own chairs and enjoy the game. The playground was also very clean and everything was in good repair. There's something for all ages to do there from baby swings to slides. It could use a few more benches for parents to sit and relax or we could just suck it up, put our phones away for a minute and join our kids running through the place.
Absolutely the best place to take a walk your dog..go for a walk or even bike it! You can go over Bridges and hopefully see some ducks and ree a lot of landscaping. The path takes you to all kinds of destinations. They have even added baskets for litter bags for your dogs waste and a few wooden benches to rest with garbage cans for your waste. Beautiful views.
