Lake Katherine Trail

Lake Katherine Preserve has a fake waterfall that offers a surprisingly pleasant spot to sit and relax.

Much of Lake Katherine is covered with lily pads.

It's hard to believe that this park was nothing but a trash-strewn lot before the town decided to transform it into a lovely park.

The Cal-Sag Canal flows on the north side of Lake Katherine Preserve. Some of the trails run alongside the canal.
