Trippe Lake Park

What an interesting place. It is fantastic to see the water has returned! The invasive species removal project completion was a welcomed surprise when we popped out there yesterday to check on the progress.

Such a special place and the fishing is fantastic. Great place to spend the afternoon enjoying the scenery and catching fish.

Trippe Lake Park is a really nice place to visit. There are nice walking trails, pavilions, and playground equipment. The lakeside is lovely and offers plenty of areas to pause. I went on a Tuesday, and I was the only visitor besides the cross country runners zipping through. The area appeared to be well-kept as well.

This park has nice shade and a decent breeze. It's almost like a private park because a lot of people don't even know about it.

I grew up swimming here and when it was still open with life guard's. They closed it done when the lake was contaminated with E.Coli. It got contaminated by the Hawthorne Melody milk factory that once sat across the creek from Trippe Lake. I believe it had something to do with the old pipes from the old factory which was either running into the ground under the Lake or just in the lake I can't remember for sure. Anyways from what I know today is that it is safe to swim in Trippe Lake now and that they never did reopen the Lifeguard/Food Building which did have 2 Bathrooms with Showers and locker room. I take my kids here from time to time and share my stories of the town I grew-up in and the Lake I swam at with my friends and family. Also tell them there use to be a metal slide in the water and raft that was in the middle of the lake. I recommend this area for all families old and Future ones to come visit Trippe Lake, and make new memories also to share yours with everyone you love in life.

Great park for a picnic or family reunion!

Very nice little park with a fun bridge and free parking. When I visited at sunset there was hundreds of geese gathering. So fun!

Great fishing and it has a play area for kids as well as restrooms.

Great lake if you know what to do. Glad they are draining it next year.
