Come with us as we go to Coleridge Park Dam. No, Coleridge Dam Park. Ah, come with us as we go to Coleridge Dam Park. That. This park was originally created more than 100 years ago by a fuel company that was trying to look for water for some mining operations to wash the coal, essentially. They have all sorts of signs about the local history. There are places to eat, lots of picnic-y kind of tables around here, bathroom. It is, as you can see, pretty wheelchair accessible, and we are coming up on the first of two lakes. Pretty popular fishing location too. It is a stocked lake with rainbow trout. There's also some kind of weird art throughout the park. Why are you so fast? It is 2.5 kilometers all the way around, and at the end of this is an off-leash dog park.
