There are some great places to walk in parks that rest alongside Fern Ridge Lake. One of these is Richardson Point State Park on the northwest corner of the lake. This is good for me, as I need to walk to control diabetes and exercise my heart. Part of the experience in the parks is enjoying beautiful views. And one special bonus is the big sky and lovely clouds one can see out here in the country. Most of the views we had in the city were restricted by buildings and other obstructions.
