A nice place to go on a short, romantic walk with your wife.
I love the nature trail around the lake, and a great place to take the kids to learn to fish!
I love it here by myself and with my grandchildren
Really a nice park, you can pretty much see all the way around it....openness of it.... Dog walking... Fishing..... Ducks and Geese ...
Its a nice safe place to walk and enjoy yourself.
Fine. Great place to get the kids out of the house. Hardly anyone there. Look for the turtles on the fallen tree at the edge of the lake. One big snapping turtle jumped into the water. There were 12 more on the log.
Is so nice and clean also good for a power walk, people around sharing their smiles
Love the views, looks even better now banks are trimed
Love taking walks and running here with my children. A few of the residents (geese) are bullies, but its all in good fun. We even saw a bald eagle circle overhead several times during our latest visit. Very special!
It is a 3/4 mile trail. It is an easy, very nice and clean walk. Not very crowded
Nice park to taken stroll. Lots to do, walking the trail, running, fishing, play area and Pavilion. Very scenic. Cute little wooden bridge.
Small park, wide trail around the lake. Great for a short stroll with the dogs. Lots of ducks & baby ducklings too.
Great place to visit and enjoy the day
Great place - to visit the pavillion is clean and the bathrooms are really convenient. We had our granddaughter’s birthday party here. It is a great location- parking for party preparations are near the pavilion for easy access. There is a playground near, walking trail and plenty of trees.
Its a great place for parties, BBQs, jogging, nature walk. AND POKEMON GO YAAAAAAY.
Enjoyed a quick lunch here and walk around the lake. It was great to see so many out enjoying the park. Parking was plenty. Brought our lunch and sat in the picnic area closest to restrooms. Very quiet and relaxing area.
Nice simple park,great walks and not a lot of people.
Good place for nature walk.
Really nice lake to walk around. Nice trail with a fishing pier. There is also a picnic table area and playground. I think it is 3/4 a mile loop around lake. Great for younger kids. Also, lots of people walking dogs on trail.
Nice trails and childrens park.
Small park great for the pets & family!
Quiet and serene. Great size for leisure walking or exercising. There is a little bit of trash though.
Nice clean place nice for fishing I’ll be back there
Great place to take a walk, bring your kids, walk your dog, relax and think.
Quiet walking space.
Nice place to go for a walk.
Beautiful
My favorite place for a quick, intensive in the middle of town run. Also beautiful scenery, see lots of photographers in the area.
Great place for a trail run...like a short one..each lap is .75 miles...I always run like three laps to stay nice and healthy and the passing scenery helps you complete your laps
Beautiful walk, took two turns around. The park also has a small playground for kids. Clean and pleasant.
Water was high and very poor visibility. To many runners and people walking up on you
This is such a nice little park. The walking trail is nice, shaded, and has a couple of challenging hills. Theres lots of scenery and wildlife, such as turtles, fish, and heron, to see as well.
Great trail around the lake, lots of access for bank fishing. You cant fish from the bridge over the dam, but it makes since due to its narrow pass. Didnt catch anything the day I went but it is a beautiful park. Theres a kids play area and restrooms as well.
Nice Place.. Good Kids Play Area
Stroll around the lake area to release stress.
Good family time , great lake view
Leve it and there was a turtle on the bridge
Cute little park. Easy 3/4 mile hike around Echo lake.
My backyard. Clean and populated with turtles and other wild life.
My granddaughter loved the playground. Wasnt overcrowded and easy to navigate. Fun bridges to cross overlooking the lake. Kids were under the bridge fishing. Lots of picnic areas with built in grills. Parking was easy and an officer was on site checking on things which made me feel much safer.
Very beautiful park. Nice and peaceful atmosphere
Fun little spot to take the little one fishing. With a little dock landing you dont have to worry about snagging on vegetation on the banks
Great park for walking, jogging, fishing as well as family picknics and parties. Or, just sit by the lake for a while and enjoy the view! Great place to take your dog for a walk and nicely shaded.
Beautiful park with numerous species of wildlife.
Variety of frogs and even seen turtles! My son loves this park!
Very nice! Clean lots of trash cans bags for dog poop. The lake has lots of turtles. There were quite a few gusse and duck.
Cool place to attend. A lot of trees to keep you cool.
Great place to take a walk and interact with nature, go fishing, or have a bbq! They have a play area for the little ones.
Simple and peaceful
This park is beautiful with a lot of nature, there was a lot of people walking and jogging when I went there, it also have a lot of history behind it, perfect place to take your family or just relax and take in some good nature scenery and get some fresh air.
Great little circular trail with outdoor picnic tables and doggy bag dispensers
Great place for a lovely stroll around a lake full of life.
Enjoyed the walk around the lake with my 5 year old son.
This is a great place to walk your dog and enjoy nature. This is a park that is convenient for me to get to.
Good park, fishing isnt that great. Nice trail and playground for the little ones.
Fantastic scenery! Great for the entire family!
Nice place to visit in summer
Nice park, but no good for fishing.
Beautiful

Love it, a gorgeous park. My dog loves it, fishing and a nice playground. It is a great family or just a spot to take your girl on a date.
Very nice walk
Love the place for running, view is amazing
Great park shaded and nice trails !
Great for the kids fun and clean
Excellent park relaxing, fishing and picnics.
Good basic trail for an easy stroll with the dog. There is a playground with slides and other equipment. There parking lot is easy to spot from the road. There isnt much to see or do here, but I appreciate the efforts Henrico makes to place parks and green spaces in neighborhoods.
Very relaxing atmosphere with nature and a clear trail.
Beautiful spot. Has a 3/4 mile path around the lake that is perfect for a walk or run. Very clean and quiet place
Love the park
Its a peaceful, family oriented park.
So mate fun
Wish tht they would stay open longer
Quaint county park.
This is Echo Lake (more like a big pond) located in the West End of Henrico in Virginia. Joggers favorite place because the path encircles the lake. Turtles, fish, geese and birds are plentiful. Catch and release fishing is allowed. Best time of day to visit is in the morning. Picnicking is allowed, radio controlled sailboats allowed too. Echo Lake is tucked in a nice residential area, at the back of the business district in the West End. Not many people know of this place. Pictures in my google+
Echo Lake....so peaceful and filled with calm. The trail is full circled with connecting bridges. The timed fountain is an accent of beauty and very soothing.
This park has always been a very nicely maintained neighborhood oriented park. Its great to take your dogs or your kids on a walk. Mostly shaded, it has a play area and a picnic area, along with offering a small fishing pier.
Beautiful spot to walk
Great place to take young kids fishing
Nice local historical parks with nice amenities
Great place and setting for a walk. Good for dogs as well. 3/4 mile
A quiet, out-of-the way park with one trail loop around .75 miles that travels around a lake. Also has restrooms, one pavilion, and a small playground. Youll spot turtles, geese, ducks, a great blue heron, song birds, and sometimes a hawk or two, along with other aquatic life.
Good place to walk
Lots of wildlife to check out and easy path to follow. Fair amount of trash in water and a single trail are downsides. Overall though, nice local park with easy access.
Dont let the size of thus park fool you. Its a beautiful place to walk and hang out.
It may be a Richmond commonality, but Ive noticed that the parks around here have huge lakes (ponds?) with walking trails around them. It makes the park nice to be at year round (barring intolerable weather). For those that live near Echo Lake its a great park to have. For those that havent been, you should definitely visit.
Its small but packed full of fish
