I walked past the post office, to the church while admiring the cobblestone and brick paved sidewalks, I stopped to read the names and graduation dates of city members printed on the brick pavers surrounding a city bench.

This trail has everything;Anchorage Trail wooded paths, cobblestone walkways, open grassy fields, wild flowers, a beautiful lake, an amphitheater, and so much more.

The mostly paved trail is clearly marked at all intervals and has several off road paths for bicyclist or those on horseback. This trail is perfect for pet lovers, with several stations containing plastic bags and trash cans for any mess your furry friend leaves behind.  On a recent walk, I was delighted to see so much wildlife. Sitting on one of the many benches along the way, I took a moment to just listen.  The symphony of bird calls made for a serenade so peaceful that I could have fallen asleep. Willow Lake is serene and mesmerizing. The water sparkles in the sunlight reflecting the trees and a few stunning homes that border it.

                This trail was finished in 2008 and made possible by funds from John Schnatter, owner and founder of Papa John’s Pizza. He wanted to preserve a piece of land, free of development,...
