Radnor Lake State Park

It’s easy to forget that you’re still technically inside the city limits when visiting this state park. With six hiking trails and an area spanning over 1,300 acres (526 hectare), it’s no surprise that Radnor Lake is also a wildlife-lover’s dream. Keep an eye out for the wild turkeys, owls and, on steeper ground, deer who call this tranquil lake home. It’s particularly peaceful in the morning, when mist rises off the surface of the water and mingles with the treetops. Recommended by local insider Chaney Curd
