Farmington Creek Trail

This was another beautiful fall day so we went back to see the rest of the Lagoon Trail. This is actually called Farmington Creek Trail when you start at the north end. We didn't see any Lagoon animals this time but we heard people screaming on one of the rides. We wanted to park next to the lake but the GPS took us to a small parking lot by a back gate to Lagoon.




We stopped at the entrance to this section and took each other's pictures.














This was the prettiest part of the trail. There was a couple taking engagement pictures around the corner. 





This is a bench dedicated to a married couple. 




While we were admiring the bench a woman came by and offered to take our picture together. 






The trail winds under a road and over two bridges to cross the creek. 







This viaduct has a sign saying it's monitored by video. 







 As you get closer to the lake, you can hear the creek. Finally, you can see the water going over the spillway. 















There is a fishing pier. We talked to a man who said he has caught trout there in the past. There are picnic tables in several places on the trail. 





Plenty of parking here. 







There is one fire pit next to the lake. 



This is a pleasant ride on a Sunday morning. There is a handicapped restroom next to the lake but I don't know if it's open in the winter months. This path is asphalt all the way. It's great except that it's bumpy from the tree limbs that have grown under the path. 


Three Creeks Confluence
