One of my favorite places in the area to take a mini-hike. $5 day fee parking (they have solar-powered digital kiosks for your convenience-they need the fee to keep the grounds running). I explored the Cliffdale Farm on the west side and saw a Barr owl. The loop around the lake is quite lovely (lots of fish, turtles, and spied a grey heron). During the week is peaceful and they offer wonderful nature programs for kids and adults just check their site.
