FOLIAGE

Fall foliage is generally best in  late October through early November.  In the spring, trees leaf out in mid to late April and it should be greened up by May.  Fruit trees (apple and cherry) are generally in bloom in April.  Cherries ripen in June and apples from late August through October.  Check the "Orchard" page for updates regarding the fruit trees.

WILDLIFE

​ Migratory waterfowl frequent the lake from late fall until early spring and a variety of songbirds and hummingbirds (in the summer) can be found in the orchards and woodlands.   
FYI:  The lake is often clearer in the winter when it doesn't have the upwelling caused by the summer heat. 
April, 2020 Update:  The wild ducks have headed north for the summer but our 4 mallards live here full time.  The hummingbirds have returned and are buzzing about.

A picturesque path leads to a quaint arched bridge and then on to a longer bridge spanning the route of the historic Cloud Climbing Railroad.  A small stream passes under the arched bridge to a waterfall cascading into the pond below and then under the longer bridge and on into the lake.
