I even saw some ducks playfully splashing near the dam! The trails here are fantastic for a casual walk or a more invigorating jog, offering different scenic views as you go. They’re well-maintained, making it easy for families, solo adventurers, or even those with strollers to enjoy. Packing a picnic is a brilliant idea; there are some lovely spots where you can just sit back, relax, and soak in the natural beauty.
