This park has a very large lake with a path that circles the lake for walking! It has an area where your dogs can venture into the water or jump off a short pier (great for labs or dock dogs). Many areas of the path are shaded but some areas are more open to the sun so bring sunscreen and/or... More

What a great trail! If you have a dog, you will be a hero for taking him here. There are also nice play areas for the children and a very wide trail around the entire lake.

I've passed this park so many times while driving on 464 towards I64, I frequently saw people walking/jogging around the park but never had the desire to actually visit the park. One day, we decided to take the kids here for a free, impromptu, casual outing. It's a little hard to get to as you have to drive through a... More

We live within walking distance and visit several times a week. The trail is 1.5 miles and the lake provides nice views. This would be a good place for anyone traveling through with animals to stop and take a break.

We really enjoy walking our babies (our infant and fur baby) around the 1.5 mile loop. It's a bit disconcerting walking right next to Rt 168 with only a small guard rail "protecting" you. But the fish filled lake is great, lots of wildlife, and friendly people.

Need a place to take your kids so they can ride bikes or run around without the worry of getting hit by a car, then Oak Grove Lake Park is the place for you. There is a wide trail that circles the lake were you can walk, jog, or ride a bike. You can even take some time to go... More

I am at this park 3-5 times a week to run the trail. The park rangers take very good care of the park and there are always other people there running, walking, or just letting their kids play on the playground. Great park!!

The trail around the 1.5 mile lake is great. The exercise and stretching stops around the perimeter are a great touch. Same with the piers and covered picnic tables. My daughter loves the play ground. Great to take a quick lunch a brisk walk.
