"How many cities have a beautiful lake in the heart of downtown? The city has invested in beautifying the lake in recent years and it shows. Warm weekends bring young crowds and picnics to the lawns on the Eastern shore and near the Fairyland sign. There's a steady stream of pedestrians, joggers and cyclists enjoying the 3.4 mile perimeter path year round, day or evening. Feeling adventurous? Take a gondola ride from the Lake Chalet or a sailing class from the recently upgraded Boat House." - Huge
