Pristine 50 acre lake with trees up to the shore in most places, but plenty of fishing spots. Fishing dock, however is a pretty good hike along the trail that completely circles lake.

Just moved to the area and happened upon this gem. Beautiful 2 mile loop. You feel like you are running through the forest but its all beautifully paved. A little confusing on the signage where the fitness trail splits off. Dont take that if you just want to do the 2 mile loop.

It is one of the most beautiful walking trail in the triangle. it is about 2 miles loop and there is a a nice bench at the half mile mark. the best time to go there is around sunset in the falls.

To my walk around this park. Its a lot of fun and theres lots of trails all the way around. My kids saw bunnies and turtles and even a big black rat snake. Non-venomous but still pretty amazing to see

Beautiful paved loop trail that is ~2 miles and has some nice views of the lake! It does seem to get a little busy on the weekends though (if the weather is nice).

Great place to get out in the open, particularly during a pandemic. Great trails and a very open atmosphere. Id recommend if youre trying to find an escape during this difficult time.

I absolutely love this Park! Especially because I live behind it in Camden Lake Pin! What a fantastic walking trail, a great dock to look out at the gorgones view of the lake! It is absolutely amazing! I loved going for walks, jogs even now going for walks with my wonderful fiancé and dog️

This park has some Beautiful views. Nice place to go fishing too. The main path is very easy to walk, not a lot of hills, pretty straight. Their are other walking paths off the main one, but I havent been down any. Animals Ive seen here are cranes, squirrels, fish, ducks, turtles, and hawks. The wildlife is pretty comfortable with humans and dont run off when they hear someone coming.

I took my son here to check out the fitness trail and to ride our bikes.The fitness course is in the woods and has a few stations to stretch and work out. Just watch for the poison ivy.The trail around the lake was great for bike riding. We did 2 laps around and we were treated to a rainbow just before heading home.This was a nice place to ride and seemed really nice for a walk around the lake as well.

Very nice little park; scenic with the lake. Good paced 2mi loop around with nature trails extending out. Lots of wildlife, turtles and herons. Can get crowded, but walkers/runners/bikers were pleasant and respectful. Definitely will go back!

Every wing that flutter creates a ruckus of waves in the water. Each grain seeks virtue. Each nail seek a Polish. Life is in our hands. I commandé you to abolish. Said the hand that writes. To the pen that etches the names on the hills, etches on the canvas.Pleasant. Was a smile.

Review №23

The park is excellent, has restrooms, paths maintained well by Town of Apex. Make sure to bing your mask because 8 out of 10 people there dont use them. Today I saw a small turtle, a crane, 47 squirrels and over 40 dogs of all kinds - some with their own carriages.

First visited this park on Labor Day because other parks in Cary were closed on the holiday. This one was open and met my needs. There was a complete 2 mile paved walking path and it was in excellent condition with several park benches along the way if you need to take a rest. The park and walking path is pet friendly with numerous pet waste stations all supplied with bags. There are two parking areas for the park, each with bathroom facilities and picnic tables. The walking path is well marked for distance traveled, and trail maps, and there is a water drinking fountain with an accompanying water bowl for pets. Fishing is allowed. Super nice park and super popular as well.

What an absolutely beautiful 2 mile trail to walk/run. I’ve just recently found this location and it’s a new favorite. It’s got a completely paved 2 mile walk. It’s a beautiful scenic route, accessible bathrooms, parks and so many more amenities. This trail is great for walking with strollers and is shaded which is perfect. Lots of nature and wildlife to see while strolling!

Beautiful lake with a paved 2 mile trail and a couple optional dirt trails along the way. The trails are shaded well through the summer. Its a great lake for kayaking and canoeing since the water stays very flat most of the time. Fishing is good for small crappie and bluegill. Good fishing for kids.

Review №37

Love it here. Great place year round. Plenty of green in the summer and lots of color in the fall. 3+ miles worth of trails (2 paved, 1+ natural). Never too busy and more than ample parking.Always well maintained so you can walk it, run it, or bike it. Theyve also recently updated the picnic tables and new seating / benches in just the right spots for the perfect view. Definitely recommended!

The selfish part of me doesn’t want to share how much I love the Elevate Fitness Course. I really hope more parks add this type of course, It’s fun for all ages and a great family activity. My children are young adults ages 16, 17 and 21 years old. We went to check it out a few weeks ago in the evening and ended up having so much fun! My daughter and a group of her friends went twice in one week after our first visit. Get up, check out the real world and enjoy some real quality time with your family.

Review №65

Nice trail and lake. We like to get off the paved trails to get closer to the water, so we appreciate the little spur trails that allow that. Can get a little crowded on nice days, but people normally are very considerate of each other, so that doesnt seem to cause much problem.

Ki
Review №66

Not a great place for a leisurely walk, but good for a workout. It is a beautiful location and well-maintained trail, but it was very busy when I went on a Sunday afternoon and I couldnt enjoy the walk. I felt like I was going to get run over by power walkers and runners.

Review №68

Wonderful, smooth walking path (2 mi)! Lots of people and dogs walking. If you park off Lake Pine, keep in mind that the lot drive is one way! We were newbies and did not realize that. Parking lot also off Laura Duncan with entrance just past school. Looks like there are other unpaved trails.

It is a beautiful park and the lake looks like its loaded with fish. You can set up your chair and fish right off the grassy earthen dam which conveniently is adjacent to the parking lot. Just wish we had more time

Paved trail. Great nature sounds even though the main road is right there. You forget youre in a busy area. Great for exercising. Great for meditating. A lot of benches along the trail for those who need to stop and rest every now and then.
