A hidden gem in neighborhood! Good for kids and family to visit. We had a hike with the second grader girl scouts. They all enjoyed it. It takes around 1 to 2 hours to visit.

A great walk/hike for anyone passing by this area! The lake is a beautiful, relaxing, semi-secluded area in the middle of a suburban area. Nice spot to read a book or just listen to nature. The dam is a nice lookout to see the big lake. I would highly recommend visiting!

Lovely hidden spot. Path around reflecting pond at bottom of reservoir spillway. Cottage on path. Small nature trail path. Plenty of wildlife.Freshwater Fishing. No swimming. Keep it clean. Not to share with everyone.Way old damn holding back water supply lake above reflecting pond. Path is about 1 mile around. Nice for short hike. Cool in the hottest of summers. Nice breeze off pond. 5 star.

Walked this trail just after New Year's and it's gorgeous! You walk along Sheldrake Lake with views of the backsides of mansions across the way. The sunlight, the wooden pathways, the boulders, the ducks, so nice. Our dog loved running around off-leash and meeting some other dogs!

5 stars!!!!

A pair of cute lakes with about 2 miles of trail surrounding. Walking the dam wall is kinda fun. I've seen both deer and fox here in the mornings, so if you're lucky you may have an encounter.
