Marlake

Marlake was created in the late 1950s when the park's founders, Francis and Ilene Marckx dug out and impounded a naturally wet area. Today, the lake provides habitat for a range of waterfowl and birds.

Marlake WidgeonsPark visitors can walk around the entire lake and enjoy bird viewing from a number of vantage points. The park is a great place to see green-backed and great blue herons, widgens and ducks, red-winged black birds and the occasional bald eagle (watch out ducklings!)
