"Beautiful neat trail with 2 island where you can do your own kayaking or rent right by the island. The inner circle I believe is 1.4 mile, However it’s more bigger then that yet to be explored. I enjoyed the sunset view and the walk. It also has a BBQ place so great for having family picnic or small get together. Good for rollerblades as well Washroom & water are also on the site Luv it !!!"
"Whalon Lake is one of my favorite places to go for a few hours of fun or relaxation. They have rentals for kayaking, which we did and it was enjoyable. The Staff member there was polite and very engaging.."
"Wonderful neighborhood lake with nice cycling and jogging track and boat launch. Only electric motors allowed for boats. Maximum boat length 18feet. They currently have a kayak rental centre going through labor day."
"Whalon Lake is a fantastic outdoor getaway packed with activities. The scenic walking/running path is perfect for daily exercise. They offer kayak rentals, spacious picnic areas with charcoal grills, and even a bike pit stop. Restrooms are available, and fishing is popular here. The only thing missing is a playground. Still, it's a versatile oasis worth visiting for nature lovers."
"This lake is gorgeous! Paved/stroller friendly. It's so relaxing and calming. Alot of geese, ducks, and birds. Parking available. Covered pavilion to eat under. Benches placed around the lake to rest or take in scenery. Bathroom also available. Connects to the trout farm park. Where there is also parking and beautiful ponds for fishing."
