Kaufman Park

Nice walking trail. Loved seeing all the ducks

I found this spot on Google maps when I moved to Champaign 2 years ago, and I've been going here ever since. It's my go to chill spot to eat and get a peace of mind. When I'm feeling active, the trail that surrounds the area is great for walking/exercising and sight seeing if you love nature. However, come summer and you're overly scared of bugs like myself, I advise you to stay in your car unless you can fight ( bugs of course)! 😂 Lastly, if you enjoy fishing, due to the presence of many fishers, adults and children, I would say this is a pretty good spot to do so as well.

Kaufman Lake offers outdoor fun for individuals and families. Picnic tables are located around the lake, and a variety of activities are scheduled throughout the year. For your safety, ice skating, ice fishing, and swimming are prohibited on Kaufman Lake.

Nice lake, got really good bites just couldn't capitalize on any of them. Still a beautiful day fishing

Great place to relax, plenty of parking. It's a nice little lake right in the city. The 0.8 mile path around the lake is especially nice to walk, jog, or bike.
