Offering paddle boat rentals at Wheel Fun Rentals. The Lake also has a 0.67mile paved sidewalk ‘loop’ which is perfect for a morning run, stroll with the family, or bike ride! There’s several species of birds and turtles that live in and around the Lake and it’s a nice change up if you’ve had enough of the beach ;)
