Big Lake, if you go in the 4 Little Ln. entrance. $2 to get in. You can rent paddle boats or put in your own kayak or paddleboard. Enjoy and easy walk along the lake or take one of the trails (moderate to difficult). Worth the $2 per vehicle, however you can park outside of park and take gravel trail to waterfalls at no charge. Drive around the outside perimeter of the park and you will find a city recycle center and a parking at Rooster park. 13 min
