Wonderland Lake

Directions:
4201 North Broadway at Wonderland Lake. North of Sumac and south of Utica on the west side of Broadway

The Trail:

This trail is flat and easy; a favorite for young children. Here the kiddos are able to see lots of wildlife like birds, insects, deer, and fish. We have also seen coyote, deer, pelicans, cormorants, geese, and ducks here, so keep your eyes peeled!! About half way around the lake on the NW side there is a wonderful pipe to climb in and through. I have spent countless good times watching the children play all kinds of games here from yelling to each other through the pipe to trolls and Billy Goats Gruff.
There is also a park on the S side of the lake which can be a nice piece of motivation to get around the whole lake :-). Next to the park is a huge emerald green field fit for races, crawls, and games or for just sitting and havin’ a wonder.

At one side of the field there is a wonderful pine tree hut that is fabulous to sit inside of!

Careful:
There is not much shade here so in the summer it can get HOT!
