Front Lake is a small reservoir at the entrance to the Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site and the trailhead for Memminger Trail. The reservoir is sometimes drained for maintenance, but it is a sight when it is full. If you hike the Memminger Trail to the south from here, it crosses over Memminger Creek, which is running down from the lake.
