A scenic, expansive lake nestled in the glacially sculpted landscape of Waterloo Recreation Area. With its sandy beaches, playground, picnic areas, and boat-launch, it’s a favorite for swimming, paddling, and relaxing before (or after) starting your hike. Serene yet inviting, the lake sets a perfect tone before the trail enters rolling moraine forests and kettle-feature terrain.
