Lake Johnson

Lake Johnson Park includes more than 300 acres of land surrounding the lake of 150+ acres. The lake/park provides boating, picnic areas, concessions, facility rentals, greenway pathways, and a wide range of classes, special events, and recreational possibilities for the whole family.

The eight kilometers of hiking paths in the park are available for those who would prefer to view the lake from the ground. Along the lake's shoreline, there are also picnic spaces, a fishing boardwalk, and a six-station fitness track. Fishing for largemouth bass, crappie, bream, catfish, and carp is excellent in the lake. Free entry; a fee is charged to launch a boat and use a facility.
