I purchased this game for $20 from Vintage Stock, and I can confidently say it has been the best $20 I ever spent. Unlike Skate XL, the newer version, Skate 3 brings a sense of nostalgia on top of the already wonderful feeling of skating around a map, free of stress, and playing with friends. I give this game a 4.9/5 and recommend it to anyone who enjoys skating and to anyone willing to try a fun older game with a layer of nostalgia.

Clinton State Park is formidable. It's like Thanos, if Thanos was water and dirt. It's massive,…read morefilled with trees, and it is murky. The only time I've ever been stopped by water patrol while in my tiny boat has been on this lake. I saw him dartin' straight for me amongst a hoard of rich people in their fancy little shiny boats. Men drunk as the cow on Tuesday blaring there speaker systems that cost more than my boat, and this joker brought his $80,000 police boat right to my little inflatable tube. He checked me over, they were nice enough. I guess people do die on this lake if you're not responsibly careful enough. It's not a place to play around if you're not prepared for the worst. There are so many great secluded shelters strewn about this place, and the Clinton Park of it does require a $5 per day access fee I believe go check local updates. Per car mind you; and less in fact you paid for the state stamp with your yearly registration on your vehicle which I do. It's a good deal for $15 a year. The fishing however if you're a true fisherman is spectacular. Clinton has some of the best fishing in the country. It's not for the faint of heart however, and the surface is vast. I once drove across this lake on a boat going about 4 mph for half a day and didn't make it halfway across it. They have great sections where the bass fishing is amazing during certain periods of the year. It's a great place, and if you don't want to get out on the water you can go to the spillway which a lot of people do for fishing. Be safe.

Clinton Lake is a fantastic visit for those wanting to learn more about our state parks. What I…read morereally enjoyed about Clinton lake were the friendly people, the affordable stay, and the great clean environment. We took our vacation here and stared up at the sky with a telescope, went fishing, enjoyed the trails. All of these are available and easy to access. We went in an RV (a 24') and had an easy time getting service and having fun. Bathrooms are clean, showers are well maintained and have incredible, and I mean absolutely incredible water pressure. There are a few pieces of advice I would give before you attend. The trails are fantastic, but if you plan on going now you had better plan on taking with you PLENTY and I mean PLENTY of bug repellent. The trails are full of ticks and chiggers, and you will find your ankles and body well covered if you have not taken the right precautions. Don't walk trails where you aren't covered, and don't do things that will put you at risk.

If asked to choose one city park in Lawrence I'd most want to spend time at, it'd be Bircham Park…read more Located on the banks of the Kansas River maybe 400 yards upstream from the Bowersock Dam and the Kansas River bridge, it consists of several acres of native buffalo grass that hooks up the a paved trail into downtown--quite a lovely stroll any time of day, and houses the University of Kansas Boathouse, home of the men's and women's crew club. The park has a number of native limestone sculptures, ample parking, and typically a portable toilet, ie., "Johnny on the Spot," or whatever you wish to call them. You know, those places you only go if you *really* need to. Otherwise, yea. Plenty of riverside swings, picnic tables and typically a shelter (currently under reconstruction on my most recent visit) and a newly created overlook near the river that extends into the water a few feet. Enter the park by car at 2nd and Indiana Streets, a lovely drive past some amazing, early historic homes of the 1800s, or park near 6th and Tennessee street and walk the 600+ yards to the park along the paved trail, famed for being underwater when it floods. So much for planning, eh? Great picnic area, great place to get away from the rest of the town and not everyone comes here which is part of the appeal. The views upstream to the I-70 bridge, the levee across the river and views of downtown not be missed.

The arboretum is set in the southwest corner of the Lawrence area and nestled up against the (finally) evolving Lawrence Youth Sports Complex and the dam of Clinton Lake. A lovely pond is encircled with a wide walking path, a broad variety of native trees and grasses, and a gazebo that overlooks the water. Each different tree species is marked and identified, helping young and old to appreciate the vagary differences of the flora. There is also an area designated as a 'butterfly habitat' in conjunction with another Lawrence attraction called Monarch Watch. Who doesn't love watching the majestic and delicate beauty of butterflies? There is a sidewalk that leaves the arboretum and winds through a grassy meadow along the dam and terminates out at Clinton Lake. Pro tip: from the parking lot of the arboretum to the dam is right at 1.5 miles, so if you have an hour or so to kill, it makes for a leisurely three-mile walk. Bikers, dog walkers, and others frequent the arboretum and the path. It's really one of Lawrence's 'hidden' treasures and it will continue to evolve.
