Fountain at Round Lake

Highlight • Lake

Round Lake is one of the shadier spots in Forest Park. You can see it from the path, but if you jog over to the trees next to the water, you can really see the fountains and birds that frequent the area.

Wheels Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

If you want to bike (or inline skate), this is the trail for you; it keeps faster-moving trail users separate from the slower walkers and runners on the "Heels" Trail. Both trails form a full loop around the park.
