Anchor Clues
- Park at the small parking area off Madison Avenue and carefully cross Madison to head toward the playground.
- When you reach the path, turn left. Across from the school, at the first right, turn right on the path to head uphill (you are now in Farquhar Park).
- At the top of the hill, turn toward the round stage and take the 1st right path, keeping the stage on your left.
- At the tennis courts, turn right to head downhill, passing the swings on your right and the basketball court on your left.
- When you reach the T at Madison, go straight down the steps and carefully cross Madison Avenue to the sidewalk.
- Head straight into the grass, toward Kiwanis Lake and turn right toward the steps. Walk down the steps, through the grass and turn left at the lake onto the gravel path.
- Follow the path to the 1st bridge and cross it, staying on the gravel path. Look to your left after the bridge to find the post in amongst the trees.
- Return to the path, turn left and follow it around the lake. Be sure to check out the birds, geese and ducks in the trees. You might even see a turtle.
- Carefully cross the bridge and return to the parking area.

Pearls of Wisdom:
- One million Americans (1,000,000) spend an average of 17 days/year fishing.
- There are over 20,000 fish species in the sea and more than 3,500,000 fish - plenty to catch!
- There is no fishing in the Dead Sea as there are no fish here, as the salt concentrations are so high nothing can live inside it.
