Here are some things that people have said about White Rock Lake on Trip Advisor:

“This is a gorgeous lake! Kayaking, canoeing..no swimming! Again, this is not a swimming lake! Its a peaceful, quiet lake. :-)”

“What a great park! I spent about an hour walking around, to kill some time during a business trip. It was beautiful! The pathways are very clean, the view of the lake and houses surrounding it are so beautiful. Lots of spots to stop and sit/rest and enjoy the scenery.”

Relationship Tip!  Hold hands while walking around the lake! Make a friendly bet about who sees the most animals or catches the most fish! Splash one another with your paddles! Make your outing about the two of you.
