There are other lots to park in if you drive around the lake. They have a nice path that goes all the way around the lake. We came here to fish. My son caught I nice size fish and released it back. Only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is because the bathroom was far from where we were fishing at. So it was hard to leave kids alone to go to use restroom. We ended up packing everything up and going across street to Target to use restroom instead.

It is a fairly large park with great…read moretrails for running like on the east side where I was for the race but it looks like the trail goes around the lake. If you want to bike, you would definitely need at least a hybrid bike or gravel bike (see pictures) unless there is a paved trail that I did not see.

Lovely Lake! Great for walks, biking, running, paddle boarding and fishing…read more Great for all ages as the difficulty level is minimal. Great for kids or someone a bit older as nothing is too steep or uneven. Beautiful views and you can walk around 3-4 miles in one direction. There are a few different places to park, depending on where it is ADA accessible. Seems most area can accommodate a stroller or wheel chairs. You cannot swim in this lake or let you dogs in the water. If you do want to paddle board or kayak you have to go to the main entrance off 100th and sims to pay and get your board sprayed down. Not too much shade so be prepared and wear a hat or sunscreen up. Overall great walk/hike! highly recommend.

Like everywhere else in the surrounding areas your furry friend must be on leash. Usually the area is empty though so on hot days my dogs will swim a bit. I've seen city park employees at nearby Tennyson Knolls but never here. 1.4/5 miles around the reservoir depending on which sign you read. A few benches are available but shade is lacking depending on the time of year you visit. The only frequent visitors are Geese. Think Sloan's lake amounts of poop but in a more dense area. Yay nature! Other than that it's a fairly quiet area. Lowell and Tennyson are testing RTD trains so on occasion the crossing gates will go down and a train horn will sound.

Nice view of the mountains and butts up against S McCaslin Blvd so there's a fair amount of traffic and car noise, but not bad.

The water is a beautiful blue and Harper Lake is part of the Leon Wurl Wildlife Sanctuary. Good spot for a stroll. Wear sunblock, not much shade.
