Carpenter Lake Nature Preserve

Nice walk and soon to be nice place to take pictures with the rock landscape. Went fishing for about 2 hours got one little bass. Alot of blue gill and carp. Would recommended checking it out if you have the time.

Oh how I love this nature preserve. It’s a great place to go to get some exercise, fish, and just be alone with your thoughts.

I love that it’s a hidden gem basically in this super residential area. I love that it’s quiet and people are usually really nice no matter what time of the day you go.

I’ve never been in at night but I’m deeply interested. Maybe I’ll add more photos when I go again.

It looks way bigger on the map that much i can say for sure, walked the back half in 15-20 minutes going through all the trails and exploring some of the wooded area. The rock garden was amazing, all the different rocks and types in one place was a sight.

The front of the park has a rock garden area where you can climb and explore all over giant (and very beautiful) boulders. The nature trails here are well-packed dirt, very smooth. They aren't very long if you're seeking a hike, but the trails go through woods, along the water, and through a grassy wildflower meadow, so there's a lot to see. They are a nice walk for my dog who is getting older and gets tired out from long distances, and there are benches spread throughout. A great spot for kids, elderly, pets, etc.

A nice little place to walk and enjoy some nature scenery. Additionally, the rock garden is a very cool feature. A little small but a nice place overall. I think it would be enjoyable to fish here. Get out and have a pleasant nature walk!
