Parks & Nature
There are extensive and scenic hiking trails, picnic areas, a nice lake with canoe and kayak rentals.
There are two other lakes, Goldwater Lake, which is also beautiful and Watson Lake which connects to Willow Lake.
All of these are good for bird watching, for walks or jogs. There is also a small rehab. zoo at Willow Lake and it has locally injured wildlife. I would also recommend hiking up Thumb Butte mountain. It is not a difficult hike (bring water) but offers spectacular views.
