1.2 miles. One of Denver's most popular parks, teeming with humans. Peter's dad claimed that authorities had tried to find the bottom of the spring-fed north lake and couldn't. We used to skate on it but it doesn't seem to freeze thickly enough anymore. The south lake is shallow enough to wade to Monkey Island to catch crawdads.
