What are people saying about lakes in San Francisco, CA?
This is a review for lakes in San Francisco, CA:
"SO BEAUTIFUL. Had such a nice afternoon walking along the trail around the lake. Unfortunately, as of today, the lake is unsafe to swim in (algae) but it was still nice to walk around, hang out on the rocks or sit at the benches along the way. For the most part the path is pretty flat. It's all dirt. Some areas have lots of rocks and tree roots but it's not bad. Some parts get narrow though. I'm not sure if it even was a mile around the whole lake. The sandy beach/ picnic table area was closed off still too. Parking was free and not a problem at all today. By the parking lot right above the lake/path entrance is a pretty good sized grassy area that people were having picnics on or playing with dogs. Saw some people fishing today too."
