Beautiful and peaceful place to stroll and sit. Pretty view of the Capitol. There was a photographer taking pics of a wedding party when we were there.

Beautiful prairie loop and (adjacent) lake loop with paved trails and picturesque sunrise / sunset foregrounds. The two loops are linked together by a paved trail that passes under Henning Road. The prairie loop (to the east) is accessed via a long straight out-and-back from the car park. The lake loop (see attached map) proceeds west. I encountered very friendly patrons of the trails, with respectful dog walkers and a few runners. Total mileage for the prairie out-and-back loop and the lake loop was approximately 2.5 miles.See more..
