Motor boats are banned on this small­er lake, so it is ide­al for relaxed kayak­ing, row­ing, or swim­ming. The lake can be cir­cled on shady paths in an hour or so of easy walk­ing. Lake Pad­den also offers the best off leash dog park in the coun­ty with two acres of com­plete­ly fenced area for dogs to run and social­ize.
