    The major gorgeous geographic feature of the area where I live. There are splendid views of the big Bay all around. And the great BayTrail is bit by bit growing to surround the Bay with trails for walking and biking. All around places to eat and view and a real pleasure.

    We were walking by and we sat down and hung out for 45 minutes or more. Peaceful and serene so welcome in the midst of a wonderful but crowded city.

    There’s a 5 mile paved trail around the lake. Beautiful area to walk and take in the view. There seems to be plenty of parking, it’s fairly level and of course, plenty of dogs.

    The bay itself isn't much and the long causeway-bridge certainly doesn't rival those that enter the city proper. But if you're willing to drive 15-30 minutes, the hotels here are nice and about half the cost.

    Stopped for a few more Utes to view the lake area with gentlemen sailing their remote controlled motorized toy boats. Very unique to watch the fancy toys the men had out on the water.
