Named after the nickname of the landowner in the late 1800s, this lake is the smallest in the chain of lakes in the area. It features a walking and biking trail, and kayaking and canoeing are allowed, but it is off-limits to motorized watercraft, making it a more peaceful destination for hiking and water activities.
