I've been here before on a guided hike and got learn about the unwanted plants and trees that ended up growing there. I was grateful to see that during the COVID-19 pandemic, it was still open to public. Unfortunately, people did not physically distance like I would have wanted them to, but oh well. If you want to get in touch with nature a bit, come check this place out, especially before it gets too hot outside. When we arrived on Sunday, there were a lot of people, but parking was still plentiful. It's closer to Central and north Baton Rouge area. It's also across the street from the famed church Life Tabernacle Church. I can only see myself going back there during the fall and spring months... summertime there will not be happen.

This was a favorite spot for me and my best friend to hang out at. There are two lakes in the front…read morethat many people fish in. There are walking paths great for jogging and taking a stroll through the woods. My favorite part was the man made beach in the back at the comite river. The water only got as deep as my knee. It was nice to just play around in the water and play on the tire swing someone put up. We also liked to sun bathe on the sand bank. Some people made fires there at night. It was a nice and peaceful way to relax. It's a good spot to bring your dogs as well! Be careful though because we have stumbled upon snakes a few times on the trail path to the beach!

I happened to catch this on a drive home in early October where I stopped for a quick walk…read more The lakes here are the real main attraction with a long walking/running trail circulating the waters. Add the mixture of trees, bushes, and docks, and you have yourself a very nice scenic elegant park. For activities, there's people fishing and kayaking here and walking their dogs. It's pretty close to the LSU campus; it's obvious the student body and school staff enjoy this park as well!

Both times I went, I was with a large groups of kids to fish. It is a bit out of the way, so I would suggest going when you want to spend a good bit of time outdoors. They have bathrooms just a short walk from the fishing ponds, and they were clean both times I went there, though I think the paper towel dispensers were empty the first time I visited. They have a nice pavilion with a good number of tables where we had plenty of room to eat and enjoy the weather.

Did I mention you can rent a kayak, canoe or paddle board for the lake and they have bikes you can rent too?! I had been looking up kayak rentals and they were all 40 minutes or more away and cost double even with a groupon. Then I happened to find this place and felt like I'd hit the jackpot. Not only did we kayak but we also rode bikes and played around like big kids. It was an awesome experience. The staff on hand was helpful resourceful and fun. They coached us through boarding, un boarding, and maneuvering our kayak. They definitely made us feel welcomed and want to come back.

Everything is rusted, you can barely play any of the sensory instruments bc the sticks you used to play them are no longer attached to the strings. Which is such a an easy fix. There were a ton of spots where the asphalt has been torn away at so it's like having potholes on a playground. Definitely a let down.

With views of beautiful lakeside homes, a golf course and park greens, this lake is surrounded by Baton Rouge beauty. I've walked around the lake many times and the feeling of tranquility always overcomes me. You'll see many joggers, walkers and more expert runners taking advantage of the open space that this lake area offers. You can even paddle board and enjoy the water on a warm Louisiana day. It's located close to the interstate as well, for easy access. Parking is not difficult to find close by either. You'll find some shady spots to sit to take a break from the scorching sun on those hot days.

This walk would…read morebe great in the summer because of all the safe from the trees, but after a rain and damp conditions- bring on the bugs! Thank goodness we had bug spray but I admit I have a phobia with bugs and just hearing them kinda "freaks me out!" My daughter loved it because of all the sounds of wildlife, the birds, the bugs (she loves watching her Mom freak out!) and she saw a snake....it had some muddy areas after the rain but it was an easy hike (pretty flat). The trails (2) were marked well - thank goodness! You do have the option for a longer hike, but with my phobia, we kept it short!!!
