Bethany Lakes Park – Allen, Texas

This Allen gem has four lakes, each with its own personality.

 

Mostly mallards

Reflecting pool

A walking trail surrounds this lake.

This stopped me in my tracks:

Anhingas and gulls

Unparalleled parking

About to nail the landing

Soli-tree

These pics are from last weekend when temps rose to 60+ Fahrenheit. Not the norm for winter, but this is Texas where temps drop 20 degrees in as many minutes when cold fronts hit.

Look at the pics in these Yelp reviews of this very park. Spring! Canada geese. Picnics. Possibilities.

Here’s the City of Allen listing for Bethany Lakes Park.
