Gray's Lake Park 2101 Fleur Drive, Des Moines, IA 50315

"It was so nice! Cold but nice. Very clean park and not crowded at all but could of been because it was mid-day on a Monday and cold lol. I enjoyed the walking paths it was a great scenic way to kill time before catching a flight from the airport when you get there way too early"

"Best place to have some peaceful time and walk around after along day at work."

"We visited this lovely park on a Sunday afternoon and really enjoyed it. We drove around most of the lake to get a good view of everything and during which there was a marathon or 5K going on which was cool to see. We ended up parking on the south and north side of the lake to look around. On the north side, we walked over the Coleman Bridge and got to see ducks and geese in the water. It was a very clean park and had a good amount of people out and about. There is also part of the walkway (a path goes all the way around the lake) where you can walk over part of the lake on the south side. It is a really nice, beautiful, and peaceful area for sure!"

"Beautiful trail encircling a serene lake with a breathtaking bridge. Perfect for dog lovers; it's incredibly dog-friendly."

"It's a very pleasant walk around the lake. The path is paved, so it is used by pedestrians, bicyclists, and skaters. Most people are polite; cyclists let you know of their approach if you are walking. If there doesn't seem to be a place to park, drive around the lake a little farther. There are also restrooms in a couple of different places, There's a swim beach, and a boat rental that offers kayaks, canoes, paddle boats, paddle boards, and one sailboat-a small Hobie catamaran. There is a sign that explains the local bird life along the path. In another place there is a sign that explains how the lake and park came into existence. You can also explore the other side west of the lake because of the tunnel under the street."
