With just a little over a half mile loop around this park, in Black Mountain, NC, one can enjoy beautiful views of mountains surrounding the lake, lots of different water fowl leisurely swimming from bank to bank, lovely reflections in the water, and strategically placed benches along the way to relax and take it all in. We enjoy walking here after a tasty seafood meal at The Coach House nearby.
