About this water
The Lincoln Memorial is the site of the third in a series of seven Lincoln-Douglas debates. Currently the picnic area offers three walking loops ranging from .24 - .41 miles. Walking paths are on paved surface and surrounded with various plant and tree species. The Lincoln Memorial pond provides great scenery for walkers and a great habitat for turtles.
