9 - North Lake
North Lake is pleasant, though it has been closed awhile for
restoration. This works in favor of privacy for the area just west of
the lake. This is a pretty section, and with fewer people visiting
this part of the park, it's easy to find some solitude.
From the 43rd Avenue entrance on the north side of the
park, take the paved walkway along the right (west) side of the lake
(and the adjacent closed road) for about 100 yards. Turn right onto a
large path that veers off the main walkway. This path quickly splits
into two...take the left fork (hopefully the one less traveled). Walk
about 20 yards and turn left off the path into the loosely spread
bushes. Walk in about 40 yards and choose from among a few grassy
areas here.
This is a nice spot for a picnic, with a mix of trees
and grassland. There are a number of spots that are secluded from view
by the bushes in the area. You're likely to enjoy privacy throughout
your time here. Either before or after your "picnic" you may also
enjoy taking a walk through this pretty and undeveloped part of the
park.
