Nice walk. No bikes. I recommend turning left after the bridge to enjoy the lake breeze and view. A bit loud in the back with highway traffic if noise and what not is what you’re trying to avoid. There’s also access to the abandoned railroad.

Beautiful park! Trails are kept pretty good. The signage is a bit old and could use a refresher, well for the new people walking it for the first time. But it's not so big that you'd get yourself lost. And there are enough people around that eventually you could just follow someone out.

Great place to “escape” the big city/UGA campus within a city I’ve ever seen. You will feel like you are in the middle of nowhere with 100 year old Oak trees, and undisturbed forests, beautiful area! Great place to take your dog on an adventure!

Nice lake view. Challenge course only open for UGA students I'm guessing. There are tires with painted words along the trail of the lake side. Nice for jogging. I had a nice short walk, didn't go for longer trails.

Great place to come for a walk! Trails don't exactly connect so some parts involve walking alongside the road from the lake to where the trails starts. Pet friendly, so bring your pet! Parking can be limited during the semester, especially if the band is practicing.
