Trails

Nature Trail

A mile long leisurely hike through the natural setting of loblolly, short-leaf pine, southern magnolias and dogwoods puts you back in touch with the wonders of nature. Special care has been taken to preserve the dense cover of undisturbed vegetation which not only enhances the beauty of the entire recreation area, but also aides in preventing soil erosion. The series of ridges throughout the terrain are utilized as natural buffers to separate facilities with the park.

Swimming

Lake Lincoln, a 550-acre spring fed water wonderland, offers visitors fishing, boating, swimming, and skiing. Fishing is a year-round activity, the lake is stoked with bass, bream, channel catfish, and white perch. Two fishing piers extend into the lake with plenty of room for anglers to try their luck.

Swimming: Beach

Swimmers have a designated area in the clear, clean water of Lake Lincoln. From the 1.5-acre sand beach where sunbathers can "catch some rays" swimmers can gradually descend into the lake and enjoy swimming in an area free of fishermen and boaters. The swimming area is open all day until 6pm.
