Golden Gate Park’s Middle Lake

Middle Lake is Rising!

Spring is here and Middle Lake is almost complete and the water level is rising.  Now home to aquatic plants, nesting birds and some 12,000 new plants including over 80 native species of trees and understory plants.  Soon San Franciscans will be able to stroll around the lake’s edge, over two bridges and along a new cascade within a flowering pacific dogwood grove.  

Come visit this summer to enjoy a stroll on the mile long loop trail, a contemplative vista from one of the numerous benches along the lake’s edge, or unroll your picnic blanket on a nearby lawn and listen to the chatter of the birds.
