The wooded shoreline of Lincoln Trail Lake is beautiful any time of the year and the perfect spot for a picnic. Several shaded areas are furnished with tables, stoves, toilet facilities and water. Four shelters also are available, one of which has electricity. Children will appreciate the playground equipment at two of the larger picnic areas.
