Overview
The lake is connected to Gilbert's Pond through a shallow creek that is bridged by Big Lake Road. The lake is stocked with rainbow trout twice a year, in October and February. There is a fishing dock on the lake, and in the surrounding park, there is a playground, walking trails, and a picnic shelter. In addition the park contains one of 5 Iowan Art-in-the-Park sculptures.[1] The park also serves as a trailhead for the Iowa Riverfront Trail.[2]
