The lake has unfortunately dried up for a year

The name "resting place at the lake" is good... unfortunately there is no longer a lake. But otherwise a nice place to pause.

Hiking

Unfortunately, the artificially created lake has been drying out for several years and despite many periods of rain in the last six months, it didn't look like it would fill itself up again. There is still a bench to sit on, and the stone with the water tower reminds you of the earlier history.
