About this park

A small lake ringed by a walking path in Weaverville, with lakeside benches, doggy waste stations, and an outdoor workout area. It's an on-leash park rather than an off-leash dog park, but the full loop around the water is one of the most relaxing dog walks in the region.

Parking tightens up on weekends; there are a few small lots around the lake, so keep circling if the main one is full. The mill section took damage from Hurricane Helene but the loop trail itself is intact.
