An ideal place for bird-watchers, and also for kids (they can safely play there, including flying kites along the water) the lake is very peaceful and calm with no surrounding noise. There is also a cycling track nearby and a spot for camping, making it the perfect place to head to for a picnic and maybe even an overnight stay.
